Hi Kent,
I'm a fairly new member of this site and I thought the rest of
the club might like to see what I made from scratch to fit my Simplicity 4040.
Total investment was about $150, mainly paint and welding rod. I've got some
pictures of a snow plow that I made in the summer of 99. I also made the chains
for the rear tires and the weight platform on the rear.
I only had to buy $40 worth of steel to make this and $50
worth of paint. It took me a while to figure out just how long to make the
framework and the pivot points needed. I used the lift cables for the deck to
raise and lower the blade. The blade itself is spring loaded so the nose can
tilt up but can't drop down past level. The point of the blade measures 20"
and the outside edges are 26". The overall cutting width of the blade is
62". What do you think?
Plus, if you could help, I am looking for an engine manual for
an Onan 16.5 hp CCKA. I really like this site because I'm becoming a Simplicity
addict. I really enjoy seeing what others have and getting some great
ideas.
