Has anyone seen or have pics of a small snow plow mounted on a Model T or Model T based vehicle (doodlebug or tractor)?

I bought a small (garden tractor) plow to make work on my T doodlebug, just trying to figure the logistics/fabrication of attaching it and have it function reasonably.

As long as you have the gearing, traction and weight it should work.

With a very lite small blade i think a TT with weight and chains would work. The above picture is a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bud.

I am wanting to do it just to mess around. If it was a serious snow storm I would break out the real equipment. Basically think of it as someone having a small garden tractor or ATV with a plow. It will be limited, but hopefully a way to enjoy T's more. I don't expect to push 2 feet of snow with it, but 6-9 inches should be real doable.

Chad - subframe to rear end, board plow, triangle coming off extensions from front of frame, raise/lower with chains off old steering column that goes over the hood back to driver compartment.

This is what I bought, it is only 48" wide--as wide as my narrowed axle on the tractor. I may add some extensions to it just to make it a little longer. I also will probably have to scrap the whole hook up and arm assembly and refabricate it, it is pretty hacked as it sits now.
