Mike, great project!
OhioTC18, you should be able to get a "pin type" adapter from ATI for your loader to make bucket removal as simple as pulling some pins. It is not as good as a QA types system but it sure makes the task easier. I know ATI makes them because I almost bought one and looked into it.
I'd think the $8 Bolens blade could be adapted to the front of the FEL by simply making a pin-type quick attachment set up on the rear end of the blade.
If I would have had access to a blade like that, it is very likely I would not have the rear snow blower today.

That Bolens blade is only 54" wide, so I think that you would be better off selling it on eBay and buying a real snow plow blade if you want one for the front of your tractor. The Bolens blade looks like it will fit the Bolens HT20 and HT 23 tractors. My guess is that it will bring you about $150 - $200 on eBay. I will know better next month when I put mine up for sale on eBay.
Yeah Junk it is a little small but........Junkman said:
As far as listing it on eBay, it's had a couple of brackets added to it by it's former owner. It was mounted on an AC with a cable system to raise and lower it. So it is no longer stock and I don't know what might have been added or cut off.
If that's an offer......SOLDPineRidge said:Ohio TC-18, I think Junk is making you an offer of $150 - $200He is correct in that used Meyers plow blades can be had for as little as $100. which is what I gave for mine. Course I did have to purchase the QA plates and hoses too.

It looks like if you remove the end brackets that are pinned to the end of the A frame, it will be correct for the Bolens. I can send you a picture of the Bolens frame if you want. I don't think it is modified by very much. The most I would do is to paint it first. The only other thing that appears to be missing is the brackets for the power angle, but they can be added by the next owner if he/she has the pistons to go with this. Junk.....
As the tractor width is about 48", it seems like a 54" wide blade would be a nice fit. I'm sure the tractor has enough power/weight to move a bigger blade with snow piled up in front of it but I'd be happy with 54" of blade if it only cost me $8.00.
