I havea B 2301 and a snowplow from a 60s model bolens. I want to make a framework to support the plow and work with the FEL hydraulics. Don't have the quick connect bucket and don't want to hook up to bucket in place yet. This would be a bit to long on the TLB. Any advice and pics would be great.

I made this for a 60” atv plow it’s SSQA. However you could just template off your bucket to make a pin on attachment similar to it. Ignore the strap it’s been swapped out with a chain to allow the blade to float independently from the loader and i maintained the plow springs to reduce shock to the loader arms.

I have a Curtis 60" blade from a much heavier application that someone modified to replace the bucket on my B219 loader.
It works, but it is heavy, and it sits too far forward to be ideal. A lighter blade would be better.
On the other hand, it grades very well because it is so heavy, and the visibility is great because it sits so far forward.

I fabricated this attachment to mount my 6.5' fisher plow to the frame at the front of my B7500. I rerouted the hydraulic input and return going to my FEL into the original fisher plow hydraulic control unit to get up-down & side to side. I posted on the project about a month ago. I got some good replies to a few questions I had, there may be some useful information for you in there. Its on page 3 in this section of the forum.

That looks really solid and I'd like to use some of your ideas.

Wow that looks great! I have a cement drive but that sure looks like the setup for gravel drives.

Looks great, simple and not overly complicated. Would like to use some of your ideas once I get started.

I have a thread about building it. If you need any measurements or have any questions. Just ask! I’m hoping in the next week or 2 to add the brackets so I can mount my QH05 to it so I can lock onto my implements with the loader to move them around.
