Rob, I would like to see some pics, I'm thainking
along the same line but found that if I mounted it higher up, about mid-grill I
got better lift. I'm making a braket to mount it to so I can move it to the rear
an use it there, will share pics when I get mine done.

I use a 12 volt winch mounted to the 4 bolt pattern in the front bumper
of the 12m with an adapter plate. I selected an ATV winch with a built
in brake so it holds the load. I also scrapped the cable in favor of a
wide nylon strap (similar to a seat belt). The strap always winds evenly
and does not cut into itself and frey. The plow blade can be adapted to
left using the lever on the 12m. Let me know if you would like any
phots.

I find the ET lift
to be a little too slow for plowing. What I do is attach a rope to the plow,
extend it over the hood and just pull it up by hand. It can be tricky
maneuvering though. The lift is still attached for use for extended periods
in the up position.
This will not work with the blower. I can't even
begin to make that thing move like this.
