When putting bolts through tube , especially where strength is required , I drill slightly larger holes and weld some smaller pipe into the holes. This no only makes the holes crush proof and wear proof, but prevents water getting inside the pipe and rusting it out.

Hey Martha, that crazy guy down the street is plowing the street with out snow again.

She is like what are you doing under that machine daddy 😂

Nice workout on that blade. You've got great abilities to go along with a great creative mind. I'm happy you make videos so we can be exposed to it.

You did a fine job making that work! It’s nice to have all the right tools at your disposal 😉👍🏼

My plow and my snowblower mount to the rear hitch of the quad on the back and to double hinge mounted to the front bumper. No crawling underneath the quad to hook it up and comes completely off so no brackets hanging down. quick and easy mounting and dismounting.

Awesome as always. Really like the the pink welding helmet. 100% OSHA approved I'm sure. How about on a future video, you rig up one of your souped-up snowblowers on a lift/mount on a rider?

Nice snowplow 👍, just what I need since my driveway is 800 feet long, fortunately only about 150 feet are on a steep hill, the rest is flat. I'll bet Ginger loves plowing snow with you.

Awesome fabrication Moe. I am always impressed by the projects you tackle. I really enjoy the problem solving and how you show any issues you encounter along the way (and then what you do to fix them). Hope your ankle wasn't too badly hurt by the plow. Hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving. As always, thanks for sharing!

i made a snowplow for an old riding mower from a 1/3 section of a 55gal. blue plastic barrel, 5 milk jugs full of water wired to the back for down pressure and an old bed frame. it worked really well, and the snow didn't stick to the plastic blade. it did wear out pretty quick because i didn't use a steel scraper at the bottom of the blade, but it only cost some time since i got the barrel, jugs and bed frame for free. i used the deck lift lever to lift the blade, and pivoted the plow frame from bits of bed frame bolted to the mower frame hanging down behind the transaxle. the only money i spent was when i used a 3" hole saw to cut holes in the sidewall of the rear tires and filled them with bag concrete for extra traction. two 60lb. bags of post mix were less that 3 bucks each. i should've run sharpened 3/8" bolts through the tread to have ice spikes, but didn't think of it until after i filled the tires. hindsight don'cha know.

That's awesome. Some 3/8 spikes would be nice!

Even though I never really liked UTVs, my mind does a 180* when you put a plow on it. Looks really really useful. hahaha

Belt and braces engineering that's the way to go. It's great how you do things like this in you garage not in some sterile pristine workshop with shiny brand new gear. Just like we do in our home shops. Nice work mate.

Hey Moe. I'm sure that's water cooled, so a heater core in a box with a blower would be great in an enclosed cab. Don't know how many times I've wished for a rig like that when the wind is really blowing. Gets pretty cold here in Michigan. Nice job on the A- dapter kit. That power angle will be nice too.

adjourn for the evening, and reconvene in the morning.

Man, another reminder that I still have to build a tow-behind plow/box scraper after the garden tractor its going on is finally running. Not having a workshop with a roof sucks balls when it rains for the three days you slotted out to do the job... Think I'm going scraping for a water heater or maybe get lucky and find an expired acetylene tank to plasma the blade out of. Not without irony, all of this is to finally get the pad graded so I can build the workshop. It never ends!

Nice ideas. Water heater steel is a decent thickness and could be layered for more strength.

U-bolts might make install/removal easier to connect plan brackets to the frame… but workable solution

Never ending work.... when you are skillful !!!!!!

11:22 I was waiting to see if you'd run into this - I adapted a Bolens snowplow to my Simplicity tractor and had to cut mine like this as well. It affects how hard the corners of the blade cut into the surface you're plowing as well.

Well, if i had much snow i would build one like that but i don't. Ginger is awesome

Excellent idea for a blade angle motor, I'm putting one on my Rhino snow plow.

Very true. I didn't think about that. They would for sure be bent the next time I tried to reattach the plow.

I'm going to do this with my old atv plow but I'm putting it on my heavy duty Cub Cadet mower. The mower came with the house but I hate it as a mower so I still use my Walmart mower. It's heavy so I thought with tire chains it would be good for plowing. It's got the floor forward/reverse no gears so it should be fast.

🤦‍WHY ... Didn't I think of that? great job.😁👍
