I have a 1972 110 john deere, no hydraulic lift or anything like that. I am wanting to put a snow blade on it and was wondering if it is worth it to make one or should i just buy one.

With all your knowledge of "arc" welding, I'm sure you can build one.

kid,
IMO unless you have a supply of metal onhand and a way of rolling the blade you would do well to just buy one.
A way to still have some fun with a bit of fabrication and also save some money, is to look for a bargain on a used one.
If it isn't for your machine and you get it cheap you could more easily adapt one than to build from scratch.
Also, keep in mind that unless you will only be moving a small amount of snow, you will need chains and rear weights.

Ill probably be using my 23/10.50/12 bar tires. I will also be getting weights, more likely ill be making my own weights.
