Ed Kennell 39,550 #2 Posted January 6 (edited) https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product/92-6034-03-cutting-edge-for-wheel-horse/ Make sure you get the correct length. Sorry, this is for a plow, but could be altered to fit on a blower. Edited January 6 by Ed Kennell 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 49,646 #3 Posted January 6 Last I talked to him he did not have any in 44". but was considering adding them which he may have done. Best to call find out I'm sure his 48 might work ... call him. You'll be hard pressed to find a used one in decent shape. Try putting an add in wanted never know. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 49,646 #7 Posted January 7 @Achto and I made some for a plow blade. I think they were 48" . I needed one for a single and I cut one down. About two inches off each end & most of the holes lined up I think I had to drill two new holes. Instead of having square holes for carriage bolts we just used button heads. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cod 121 #8 Posted January 7 Have any of you tried using a "hard rubber or hard plastic" for your snow blowers? Plenty of info on plows but I'm unaware on blowers. I can't speak for everyone else but my driveway has slight contours, so I set the skids about 1/2" below the edge. Works fine but it's real easy to end up with ice. Perhaps a more "flexible edge" might solve the problem, unless they wear too fast. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My son just put an HDPE scraper on his snow dozer blade. Lots quieter; no scrape marks on the drive and walks. He points out that it is thicker (¾”) so he needed new bolts, and not as rigid as steel so he sandwiched it between the blade body and the old scraper edge so it wouldn’t bow between the bolts. Also initially, the rear corner was hitting the ground first allowing the front corner to be off the ground by about 3/16 of an inch--that caused a thin layer of snow to get packed down under the scraper edge. He thinks once the back corner wears down it’ll be fine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,950 #11 Posted January 8 @WHX?? nice blade set up , glairing to me ? dry rusty blade , a lubrication soak down , would add a very slick , snow release finish to that , while in the area , might even , touch up plow / steering quadrant / function lube . the squeeze lever , to quadrant functional detailing makes for , very easy , light blade swing , basically the lever to quadrant slide pin spring , lubrication , makes for very smooth / easy blade use , that slick blade finish is like free HP , pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,950 #12 Posted January 8 @WHX?? did that years ago , basically verifying function , since doing that , have touched up many areas , amazing to me AT HOW LITTLE ENHANCEMENT TO ORIGINAL SET UP , IT TAKES TO MAKE IT BETTER , would suggest if you are having any PIA area , to try and eliminate it , THE REPITITION , IS SHOWING YOU THE WAY . just trying a lever / linkage sloppy / rusty zone , is like a gold mine of corrections . washers / lube , verifying how things are intended to move , is like , this is so easy to correct . pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
