Blade For Deere Riding Mower FARM HOME Lawn Mowers (31h,38) 26-2-34 I wanted to use my 1999 Deere riding mower to grade my driveway, so I made a steel blade to mount it on front. The blade, formed out of 3/16-in. thick steel plate, measures 31 in. wide by 6 in. high. I had a local machine shop bend the blade into a curved shape and used a pair of metal brackets to attach it to the mower frame. The blade pivots up or down on a horizontal steel pin, and its side-to-side angle can be adjusted by changing the position of a pin that goes through a half-circle steel plate that's welded onto the back side of the blade. The plate has a series of holes along its perimeter.
A heavy-duty spring allows either side of the blade to trip in case the blade accidentally hits a solid object. A pair of steel skid shoes - one on each side - keep the blade from digging too deep into the ground. A lever located in front of the mower's steering column is used to raise or lower the blade.
