3pt Snow Plow
Would a 6-7 foot snow plow mounted on a worksaver be too much for a 1960 Lo-Boy to handle? Would it dangerously lift the front wheels off the ground? what about goin up a 5-10% grade? Thanks all.

7' would really be too much I think. 6' might be asking a lot too. You should at least have front wheel weights and I doubt you'd be able to handle very deep snow,

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Well i have calcium, weights, and chains. so im good there. I belive it is a 5 foot blade because im 5'6 and i know its not as long as i am tall. Also it fits nice an' snug behind the cubby I was successful in past winters, but i havnt plowed in about 4 years due to restoration. And also, do wheel weights rub up agians the wheels, i dont want to damage my new paint job. Thanks All!
Aaron.

Wheel weights bolt solidly to the wheel discs, and shouldn't move, but they will damage the paint where they contact. If you tractor spends much time in the sun, there will be a difference from fading. The question you have to ask yourself, is "Is my tractor for looks, or for use?".
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!
you are part of the problem!!!

The weights will not only mark up your paint job but they will also trap a lot of water between the weight and the wheel disc which turns into "RUST". I just got through cleaning my 2 weights today and primed them. As I was doing this I thought Hmmm, Wonder if a thin gasket would be a good idea sandwiched in between them. But that might make it worse for collecting water.

That sounds like a job for DUCT TAPE
