Craftsman Plow Blade to JD L111

[mschepac]

I have a NTM JD L111. From a friend of mine, I picked up a Craftsman Plow blade. I have all of the components on the blade back to the connection to the tractor. I have found the mounting assembly for the JD snow blade that looks like it would fit the craftsman blade perfectly. All of the sites I have searched, I can find the individual pieces of the assembly but I can't seem to find the whole kit and caboodle.
Any suggestions?

craftsman uses ayp chassis. john deeres are not. i dont know if you will be able to find a mounting system that will bolt up perfectly to your tractor. if you post pictures we could probably help you design your own mount for the plow. i made mine and ive worked out the kinks and it works beautiful.

Here are some pics of the mower and blade.


I was thinking some pieces of angle iron, but then I cant lift it from the drivers seat....
Just bouncing ideas through my head. Any help / photos would be great.

well i have a handle for mine, but a possibility would be a small winch from harbor freight for lifting it up? just a thought. i have to post some recent pictures of my mount. i worked out the bugs of it and it works well now. it liked to break pretty much every time it snowed last year.

If you could post some pics of your mount, that would be great. I was staring at them yesterday. Can't really get a concept on how to fab something up. The plow attachment seems to need to be rather low to make it level.
