Cecil and all. I managed to find the old photos I was mentioning showing the
snowplow that my Dad used on his Cockshutt 50. They are now on my webpage
for a while.  Keep in mind that these photos were taken by a kid   with a $2
camera so they are not the greatest. Still you can see the basic design of
the plow. Even the levelling crank on the front that was used to change the
cutting angle of the plow. Hard snow required a little more "suction" to
keep the plow under the snow but you had to watch it out on summerfallow
fields as it could push up a bit of dirt sometimes too.
