AC made graders for years that were an adaptation of a farm tractor, some 4 wheel, later on 6 wheel. You might check on the AC board to see if anybody has one.
My question is why the He11 would you want to plow snow with a grader? Here in NY, some hiway departments use graders for fill in plows in the winter, but they install a road plow on the front end and a wing back near the cab. It works, but unless you have alll wheel drive, the machine pushes itself off the snow pile side.
The best and easiest way to put a plow on a tractor is on the front, run a pair of chanels from the rear axel to push the plow blade to mimize sterss to the tractor frame, and get hold of a plow from a pickup truck.
