Snow Blade Built For All Terrain Buggy
 |
The blade measures 6 1/2 ft. wide by 4 ft. high and is made from an extruded sheet of plastic bolted to a curved steel frame. The blade angles back to the left, and the right side extends about 2 ft. higher than the left side. However, the arms that support the blade are set in oversized bracket mounting holes so when the blade is lowered the entire bottom edge is in contact with the ground. The blade looks overwhelmingly big on the buggy, but because it's made out of plastic it's lightweight and easy to handle. The one-of-a-kind, 4-WD buggy was made from a Jeep station wagon.
