So do lots of us!  <grin>

Snow blades are really not a problem.  They were made by Brinly.  If you 
can't find a generic Brinly or similar garden tractor blade to adapt, 
Technical Service in Wisconsin (608 868-6220) sells them new for 
something like $150 + shipping (check that price; my memory may be 
playing tricks on me here).

Tillers are pretty scarce and bring good prices when they turn up.  I'm 
looking for one, but not too actively since I would only use it once in a 
while.  Some folks have adapted gas tillers.

As for the "generator," you might look into PV system inverters.  I have 
seen them in 24 volt versions, so I imagine someone makes a 36 volt 
inverter.  You should be able to get just about any power capacity you 
want.  It won't be cheap, though, unless you can find one used.  Watch 
the classifieds in the back of Home Power magazine (for subscription
