Craftsman LT1000 42"snow plow

Overview of the plow i put together, and some footage of it in action, until the camera dies.

Lookin' good! Need to set up a rig like that. Just inherited a mower just like that and would LOVE a plow setup.

You have a fan in me! I have the 18 hp LT1000, but with 22" atv tires, engine mods, weights in back, and mower deck forwarded (tires would hit it), it's more of a YT than an LT. I took a different route with my water heater blade, since rocks are a problem here, using long springs. I'll try to post my video link here if I can.

awesome, these things do pretty good for what they are. we got a good dump of snow here in the last few days, I'll be putting it to its true test today. looking Forward to your video!

I have 33 year old Pussy CAT loader and I just started doing some upgrade which is kind of crazy and I'm still learning what will works and not. I guess you learn from mistakes.. lol

+Chase Rodley Heres my video for now, i changed things around, and borrowed from your design a little for the lift mechanism, works wonderful!

[@chaserodley]

+Ruzz P Man it looks great!!! you have defiantly improved on what I had!! it moves so smoothly and I LOVE the float plate you put in! genius! I had mine out yesterday with the sow we got ..... it died after about 3 minutes. I think i have to fix the carb.. the engine keeps flooding. I cant wait to see yours bushing some big snow though. It looks lie its going to work great! big thumbs up!

+Chase Rodley thanks! I forgot to show in the video, I added another piece of square tubing right below the fuel tank that goes from side to side to keep the weight of the blade from pulling on the side and potentially breaking the tank. the tank is all that really holds those two sides together, lol. I am quite surprised with how well it works too, and you were right about about it climbing piles! it's looking like I'll be able to pile snow at least 4 feet high with it. not too shabby for a lawn mower, lol

[@RuzzP]

+Chase Rodley Did you get er going?

[@chaserodley]

+Ruzz P unfortunately not. The engine blew. I stripped it and donated it to a young lad who wanted to build a mud mower lol. I did get an old bolens fitted with my blade from last year. It's worked out pretty good so far! But we've had only 2 or 3 good snow falls here. If I can get some better footage I'll post a video on it.

[@RuzzP]

ah, thats too bad. oh well, im sure the bolens is much more suitable for plowing hahah. I found an old MTD 990 that i wanna get for plowing next year
