Problem with that is that now you've got NO hands on the wheel or on the motion control.

 

So, you would pretty much have to stop, then lift, and that isn't what I'm looking to do.

thought about the way my el-cheapo come along reverses

That's exactly where I got the idea for the slot. The trouble is, you have to flip that spring manually. You might as well break down and buy a winch, a little angle iron, a few switches and relays, plus a few feet of wire. In the end, all you have to do is put the tractor in reverse, and the blade magically pops up. But you might want to plan on a couple hours free time, when it comes to all them wires, switches, relays, and such.

Just a detail to point out. I often back blade snow in specific areas due to access problems or to finish grade gravel…May want ability to keep blade down in reverse…

I have a switch. I can operate the lift function by the shifter. or by the PTO pedal.

Yeah? OK.  One of my machines works that way too.  

 

Do you have any suggestions on how to make it easier to pull a manual lift Killroy?

 

 

No my manual lift mower is only for my mower deck.

@GregorIf I may ask, what software did you use to draw up your schematic.

@moe1965  done a lot of spring experimentation , with both snow blower and dozer blade , like this , you can also add a  turnbuckle  to a spring to dial in what you want . use eye bolts for your hood bolts , pete

ummmmmm   Here's what I can tell you.  I have windows 10. It says "LibreOffice Draw" at the top. Does that answer your question?

There was enough 'throw' of the lever to get full up/down of the blade?

 

I haven't looked at this on mine yet, been working on my cutting deck.
