Does anyone have snow blade brackets or even pictures of snow blade brackets for a 400 series tractor?

Thanks

Rick

Do you mean the two front hooks ???

Nope. I have those on all three tractors. The 432 Comercial is missing the rear snow dozer blade mounting brackets. I would love to buy some but will make them if I must. It would be much easier to make if I can see what Gravely figured they ought to look like.

Thanks

These are on ebay from time to time. I can tell you that they clamp around the axle weldments, horizontally, using long hex bolts. Here is a glimpse, but I'll bet someone else comes along with a better picture.

As luck would have it I removed mine tonight:

Some of my projects take longer than others. The other day I finished this one.

I was not really sure what I was going to do with the 432 I got for $100, but while prepping for winter I figured finishing the plow brackets would make it a good snow pushing machine.

Sorry I did not take any construction pics but here is the finished product.

Thanks for the help, I am pretty sure it would not have turned out as well without the pics.

There is a set on eBay right now. item 250947812470. Good price too.

Good looking build!!

I got one of those blades, how high will it lift?

(Clearance under the blade when it is up?)

Thank you.

Sadly the Gravely rider blades only get about 4-5" under the cutting edge when lifted. The push frame hits the front axle bulge for the front PTO. Other than that they are great snow removers.

After seeing another thread about too low lift height, I left these brackets a bit long. this lowers the back of the bracket and should marginally raise the lift height. we'll see. putting air in the tires should help in my case too.
