I didn't hear from the guy with the 1050 in time.

I bought a 42" blade from the cub yard but I should have waited for one in better shape.

The lift bracket hits the WF. Yard owner says he'll send me another bracket.

Also the PO hacked off the end of the pivot shaft on the pivot bracket. I need to weld that up so I can get a cotter pin through it. Maybe PO thought it would be easier to install but I'm sure it would pop loose the way it is.

The skid shoes are rusted away and seized in the weld-bolts. I soaked them with PB so I'll look for replacements. I'm on black top so I may get a heavy rubber scraper strip too.

And the whole thing was pretty damn rusty but I tdidn't want to wait for snow to get this rig set up. Next time I'll know better what to look for. .

Not sure why pics rotated.
