Patrick: I fabricated a blade for my 130 about 16 years ago. Since that time I've rebuilt the push beams twice, making them rugged enough to withstand what the 130 can dish out. My blade is an angle blade 20" high and 6' wide. It was made from rolled light steel with heavy angle along top and a 1/2" x 3" cutting edge on bottom. It has 4 curved uprights made from 1/4" plate up the back side of blade.

Your idea of pushing from the final drive is good, but you've got to have the blade push arms pivot almost directly under clutch housing. This allow the blade to lift higher, quite important when you out in dirt or snow. Get rid of he idea of lifting blade with those cultivator lift frames. I've seen a lot of those broken from lifting blades.

If your interested send me an e mail, I have about 6 photos scanned detailing blade and how it is attached to the tractor. I have a frame that runs from final drives to just behind front axle and hooks into casting that cultivator lift frames mount on. It also has an upright from it bolting it to side of clutch housing. The benefits of having it bolted to tractor in those 4 places takes presure off individual castings. On the bottom side of that frame directly under clutch housing is where my blade push beams pivot.

The hydraulic lift mechanism for my blade is a hinged mechanical linkage from rockshaft to over front axle using chain lift much like pickup plows. I intend to change that to a remote hydraulic valve and an external hydraulic lift cylinder. I find the blade is just too much weight for touch control hydraulics via the rockshaft. I've seen a good many tractors with snow blades having hydraulic oil stains down over torque tube and clutch housing.

As I said send me an e mail, I'll return those photos, outlining the mistakes I made down through the years. No point in both of us making the mistakes.
