was there ever a snow blade offered for a 55?

Yes, it was known as a model 38 Front Blade.

Here is a picture of Stan Barnes. I had it stored away on the computer. A very neat set-up!

my brother used to have one in one of his sheds. I am sure it's still there. Not sure if he will part with it though.

The blade on a 5x rider works surprisingly well with light snow on level sidewalks and driveways. With weight of the engine and operator over the rear wheels traction is very good. My blade was almost NOS and the rubber squeegee edge was perfect. It scrapes surfaces clean without leaving any marks. Stan

do you have pictures of how it mounts?

 

[stanb112]

Sorry, no. But you can see a diagram of the mount and lift on JDParts.com, catalog 1010. I had to drill four mounting holes in the frame at the front of the tractor and mount the clip for the lift lever on the side of the steering pedestal.
