ready for winter

[GreensvilleJay]

finally got around to 2 projects, build a windshield and a snow pusher

made from scrap laying around, except for the polycarbonate glazing, that was a fishnchipnbeer barter.
Going to be 10*C here later this week, so I'm happy built them !

You need wings on the side of the snow pusher, or it isn't going to be pushing very much. Like the windshield, but where does the defroster and wiper going to go?

Looks good.

I can't tell if you have a stop to prevent the snow pusher from moving left/right, but I'd add angle etc to each side. It doesn't have to fit tight, but it would prevent it from coming off left or right. It might be unnecessary, but my bucket and pallet forks have them.

You might also add UMHW to the skids to keep from scratching up your pavers.

As far as the windshield goes. They make antilog stuff for ski goggles. You might want to add some before the weather changes.

hmm, 'stoppers', good catch so that's version 1.1
Have a dumpbox chunk of UHMW here ,how wide should the 'slippery skids' be ??
when (if ?) we get enough snow to try out the pusher, I'll see if it needs 'ends'. Snow plows don't.

I can see a full enclosure in your future Jay! Possibly a heater also!
