You'll notice that my 100 in the first pics Kraig posted has hyd. lift with a lockout clip available for use.
Bottom line on your lift rod is, make a stronger rod. I can say from personal experience that it's very hard to bend a lift rod made out of 1/2" black pipe with 1/2" round stock welded/bent on the ends. I knocked the moldboard off of my blade quadrant when my blade caught a ledge of ice square on at WOT in 3rd.....didn't do a thing to the lift rod.
Give up on the spring idea and get some schedule 80 black pipe.

Yeah you figure a 40 - 50 pound spring pressure @ the blade edge then you're talking a car spring 
Man it's 65º here ! Normal should be 26º !!! 31 mph wind gust too getting ready to pour the rain. Nothing showing on the radar behind the rain where the cold front line is , guess we still wont get any snow
Dave - you get your lathe tool post yet ? I'm making a 4 way post tonight I figured it was time to update the 40's rocker

Nothing like the smell of MMO in the morning...
Only had my phone on me, so that's as good as the pic gets
As you can see by the marks on the trees, I was flinging it pretty good...

MAN! I gotta tell you guys somethin, if you ever want to do anything to your throwers so you can really have some fun, do like Steve B did, change that freakin 3 1/2" pulley on your throwers to a 2 1/2"!! Then coat the insides like Kraig does with slip plate.
Then get out there and throw that crap 35 to 40 feet and 25 ft. high all day long, Can ya tell I was havin way to much fun this morning!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Yes you do, I'll bet you had a LOT more snow on yourself than I did. Ya know, for a guy that says he's got all these cabs...
And when that lil pulley decides to slip, it does a damn good job:
Ken -
Ah, that dual pipe setup is just something Dan "whipped up" for me. As only Dan can do
Yeah, the camera on this phone isn't too bad. Motorola V400.

Bryan,
Real men come inside covered in white! grin
I've tried the Wind Breakers, Deluxe cabs, Cozy Cabs and I just don't like the dang things for some reason. It might be that when I go out to throw snow, I have a 7 block area that I cover, sidewalks and all and I'm forever stopping to visit with everybody along the way and that gettin in and out of a cab is to much of a PITA!
And you can stop that belt eatin thing by goin to a QL ya know, much faster to flip a switch than grab a handle,

Bryan,
From the looks of that belt, your engine is still producing close to rated 16 hp output.
I'm using the Gates Green belt (#340 I believe) available from Fleet Farm. They'll squeal and stink a bit, but don't shread as fast as the black belts do. Got close to three seasons on one belt already.

Ever hear a song and then you hear it all day over and over in your head? Thank's Charlie!
Actually it makes me feel better when thinking of the idiot that ran down our mailbox last night and didn't leave any info.

Ya know, I still think it would be fun to have a snow day! If it would snow on a friday night, find the guy that has the most snow, load up and go play for the day.
Yea Bryan, I know, there he goes thinkin again!!!!!

Kinda' funny, for Plow Day we don't want any precip. and now we want it on a certain day. Go figure. Would be a blast and a half though.

The 71 is doing great handling the 42" plow, but I still think the blower/thrower is the way to go. I've got the 6 X12 tires four 26# wheel weights and my fat a$$. Very little wheel slip. I'm thinking the smoker with a blower/thower next year. Ya, Ya, that's the ticket.
HEY MIKE "M",
How's the 982 doing over there??
