  You really want to use a wear blade....it's thicker and provides 
stiffness to prevent the plow from wearing and bounching.....standard 4' 
ones are available at tractor supply places or probably Sears.  I have an 
asphalt driveway and don't want to scrape it up so I bought a 2" wide by 
4' thick rubber strip and bolt it between the wear blade and plow so the 
rubber contacts the driveway......works great for snow/slush but not good 
for ice scraping.  The key, as some have said from NE, is to get the slush 
off before it freezes...

As much as people say it was nasty, it was really only nasty for the 
shovelers, 
pushers and light duty snow throwers.  My neighbor's metal blade snow 
thrower 
did the job in half an hour without struggling.  It made a lot of noise, 
but 
boy did it ever get the job done.  My wife and I were chiseling with a sod 
shovel then picking it up with a snow shovel.

Regarding my dozer blade, it no longer has a wear blade on it.  It's fully 
worn.  Not knowing where to get a new part, I haven't.
