Here's a shot of the 42" snow blade on the front of my YM1301D. Here you can see the cable and sheaves for using the 3pt to lift the front blade. This blade is too small for the tractor, but I did use it to plow the 24+ inches of snow we got on Valentines Day weekend of 2003. The sheaves were taken off of the YMM-45 belly mower, and will need to go back on it for mowing in the spring.

This is the front blade mount. I bolted two short pieces of rectangular tubing to the loader subframe. Two small pins hold the blade on for easy removal.

I now have a 54" John Deere hydraulic lift and angle front blade which is much better suited to this tractor I plan to make a mounting system for it before next winter, and put this 42" blade on my YM1110D.

Back to Greg's YM1301D!
