Nyone ever rigged up a simple manually operated push blade, to avoid all the hydraylics, pumps, and hoses?

It looks like I will  purchase a crawler, and its a 47 dated HG42, with no implements, whatsoever.

Having experience with Farmall cubs, there were optional MANUAL equipment to fit and lift push blades. I would like to explore doing the same on this crawler.

Anypne got a setup as I am describing?

Any pictures and etails of what blade you used, the lift type mechanism, etc?

OH.. should mention, the blade will NOT be used for construction, but merly to level and grade my gravel driveway from time to time.

I have attached a picture of a farmall cub blade like i have on my farmall today. I am thinking that this would work, are plentiful, light weigh and compact.
