Eric C 109 #1 Posted October 30, 2014 I picked up a plow that I found on CL last July. We shall see how well the TSC Majic spray bomb paint holds up. Before After Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eric C 109 #4 Posted October 30, 2014 Looks really good. Running a rubber squeegee I see? Thanks. I have been cutting from the same 4x4 rubber stall mat for years now. I ran the strip on my Sears GT before I acquired the 520. It helps save the aggregate on my 50 year old blacktop. Quieter too.

Tankman 3,518 #9 Posted October 30, 2014 Looks great! Curious 'bout the axle mount. Aren't the two parts, left 'n right, 'posed to be welded as a unit using a small piece of flat bar? Other than the two piece mounts that I fab'd, all the WH mounts I've owned (four presently) were all weldments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eric C 109 #10 Posted October 31, 2014 I made those mounts. Except for the keepers that hold the 3/4 bar tight. They were mounted to the 520 when I bought it. It had a hitch mounted to it four and aft on the axle, not top and bottom. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk These hitches are on eBay.

km3h 543 #11 Posted October 31, 2014 It looks great, but how the hell are you going to be able to get the nerve to use it. It is so pretty. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BryanRTenn 11 #12 Posted November 2, 2014 looks great. I just bought a blade (well bought a whole c81 just to get the blade) & want to get it painted this week. I love the rubber idea, will see if I have anything laying around I can use. I used the IH red majic from TSC on my 416 hood & fender pan & misc. parts. Looks great but takes forever to dry unless its in direct sunlight or under heat which is gonna be hard for me to do this time of year. Thinking about using rustoleum sunrise red. Real close color wise & dries quick. I dont know how either really stands up yet to weather & abuse. Back in the summer I painted a tree baler for my neighbor with the majic IH red, looked great. We will see how well it holds up in a couple weeks when he starts baling christmas trees! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jerzguy2 23 #17 Posted November 4, 2014 Rubber scraper is a terrific idea and found the 4' mat at TS. How much do you expose and what is the best way to cut the strips? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eric C 109 #18 Posted November 5, 2014 I just measure about an inch and a half wider than the wear edge. In my case, the wear edge is 2 1/4". I cut the rubber at about 3 3/4". To cut the rubber, I mark the ends, then use a silver sharpie to draw the cut line. Use a NEW razor in your box cutter, and cut on the line using a few passes. On the second an subsequent passes, bend the rubber away from the razor so that the razor will cut deeper. Center the wear edge on your newly cut squeegy and mark the bolt holes with the sharpie and drill the five mounting holes. Now you will have a squeegy that you can just flip when the bottom edge wears or rips. It will probably rip before it wears, especially if you use down pressure. (All of the ones I have cut have ripped before wearing down.) my next experiment will be using an old bias ply tire which has cords.

Jerzguy2 23 #19 Posted November 5, 2014 Thanks for the tips. Didn't think it would be that easy to cut, I'll go out and get a mat and add that to my pile of to-do-list! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
