Im referring to skid shoes on grader blades here!I do not but I can see their advantage on concrete/asphalt driveways.Dirt or gravel looks like they would just get in the way....BTW I prefer boots on my feet in cold weather and shoes in warm... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why did the previous owner put a solenoid of a Start/Gen tractor? Edited February 27 by Retired Wrencher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starter/ Genny tractors used an expensive key switch to handle the approx 65 amps to start the engine. A solenoid is cheaper and built to handle the load. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
