Snow Plow surprise.

[CRF857 1,069]

I was gone all afternoon. Got home and headed for the shop. Much to my surprise there was a snowplow sitting in front of the small overhead door. 
While I was looking it over a neighbor lady came and gave me a description of the person and his truck who was here. Said she knew I wasn’t home but since he was dropping off she wasn’t too concerned.

It was from a friend who felt he owed me something. Told me it was a payback.

I just sold two with brackets. Now I have to scrounge some or fabricate some.

Nice! And the moldboard does not look to be bent - as so many are... Another plus - looks like there is enough material on the cutting edge to flip it over...

I was promised a snow blade to be dropped off as the person didn't need it anymore. I got it for a guy at the Big Show. It was from the roadapples collection Well it's been about 3 years. Haven't seen it yet.

All my friends just hit me in arm or pull some stupid prank for a "payback". Maybe time 4 new friends.

i have rehabbed a number of blades - - grinder disc and wire brush etc -- not had to go the sand blast option -- then some primer and final paint coats --- often the wear edge blade is good enough to just flip but have had to buy a few new ones -- One rehab i did the prior owner had let the wear blade wear so much the carriage bold holes were gone so i had fabricator to and extension for bottom of plow blade then new holes and new wear edge blade install.

 

i have not rehabbed any frames ---- usually not necessaary

Pleasant surprise.  Initially I shoved this plow inside and to the side. Today I moved a couple garden tractors out of the way, and put the snow blade next to the other to blades. It was then I realized that this is a 48” blade instead of 42” like the other two.👍😃😍
