Snowplow Blade For Deere Gator

Snowplow Blade For Deere Gator ATV'S ATV'S 30-6-16 William Richardson, Oakfield, N.Y, came up with a snowplow blade that attaches to the passenger side of his Deere Gator. The blade measures 4 ft. long by 20 in. high. He used a brake in his shop to bend the metal. The blade has two hand-operated controls, both located at floor level in front of the passenger seat. A crank with a cable attached to it is used to raise the front, or inside, part of the blade. A mechanical lever is used to raise or lower the rear, or outside, part of the blade. Both controls are attached to brackets that bolt to the front part of the Gator. The blade is supported by a pair of metal pipes that clamp onto the Gator frame. "We use the blade to clear our long, winding drives. It can be pushed outward for light snow and brought in for heavy snow. It can also be raised for winging back," says Richardson. He also mounted a homemade plastic windshield on the Gator. The windshield extends over the dash and also on both sides of it. It's bolted to wooden strips that bolt onto both sides of the Gator.
