How do I set up hydrolic snowblade F1145

[DP Property]

Hi all Im new to the forums. I am buying a 1997 JD F1145 in the morning. I want to use it for a sidewalk machine. Only I don't know much about setting it up except that a snowblade for this machine has been hard to find as of yet.
when I do find a blade can any of you tell me how I hook up the hydrolics in this machine? Do I have to tab another line in somehere under the hood? anyone with any knowledge of the F1145? I am going to be trying to learn as much as I can as most of the stuff I plan to work on myself.

Thanks

You will need to purchase the kit that gives you the auxillery hydraulics from JD. You can then look for a plow and hitch for the F1145. I have a F932 with a quick hitch that I can install a snowblower, power broom or a plow. You may be able to locate on in your area by going to Machinefinder. It is a John Deere site that most dealers are connected to. Here is a pic of mine.
