(ET) Plows suck for snow (dead blower)

[Chris Zach <cz alembic crystel com>]

So we have a foot plus of super wet super heavy snow. Had the blower 
hooked up, it started to do a great job then snap and the motor was 
spinning.

Broken chain. Great.

Question 1: Anywhere I can get a new chain or can chains be fixed?

Fortunately I had the dozer blade on the driveway, so I got that mounted 
up and....

Boy the dozer blade is mediocre at best for moving snow. Can't do it 
uphill, and it doesn't scrape down to the pavement like the blower. 
Wondering if I should just hook the dead blower back up and use it as a 
scraper.

Any thoughts on how best to move snow with the dozer blade? I've got the 
bottom of the driveway down to a thin later of snow. E20, 36 volt lift, 
lift is double looped, lift gets a *LOT* of use.

Always the worst time to have things happen.
