Does anyone have or know of a web site where I can find a decent set of plans for a snow plow to go on a 24HP Cub Cadet garden tractor? Since I do not have a roller I want to find something that utilizes a 55 gallon drum.

There's a site called TractorByNet, US based small tractor forum, that I look at from time to time, I think you'd be very likely to find something on there. Lots of interesting project builds in one of the sections.

Thank you for the tip.
 That particular forum did not have what I wanted, but it helped me revise my search and I found this:http://www.mytractorforum.com/63-mtd/266...1-mtd.html Looks like an excellent set of plans that could be modified as necessary for a large number of garden tractors.

Almost makes me wish we got snow here in winter. Almost.
Hope you'll keep us updated with your project.

Will be picking up a 55 gallon steel drum next week.

I built a 60" blade for my Simplicity Pow'r Max years ago. I used a section of an old water pressure tank. After cutting it out, I opened up the arc with a little bit of hammer work. This way I got a blade that starts at the bottom with only a little curvature, but the curve gets tighter at the top. Really helps to make the snow roll off the blade better without coming over the top. I have also used old water heater tanks for sources of curved steel. Thicker and stronger than the thin stuff used in 55 gallon drums, but smaller in diameter. ![[Image: coffee2.gif]](https://www.machinistgazette.com/Smileys/fantasticsmileys/coffee2.gif) Terry Making stuff with old machines.

Picked up the 55 gallon drum yesterday so the plow is in the queue (very long queue BTW). Just have to get it finished prior to the first snow fall which fortunately probably will not be until Jan or Feb.

Jan or Feb? Mine will be Saturday!
