Default Driveway scraper (and a good laugh)

Very crude, but I took some scrap angle iron I had plus some other things I had on hand, and made a scraper to use on my gravel driveway. All I have to work with is an angle grinder and a stick welder.



I made a "drop" for the hitch to keep the scraper level.

Here's a video. https://youtu.be/TlJ-mi-uHWU

Default Now for the laugh

I was so mad at myself about this, but then realized how humorous it is. I had to reintroduce myself to welding again, it's been awhile. Well, the welding helmet covered my bifocals, and I had the shade too dark. As a result, look at this weld!



I just left it like that.

I did get a little better after buying some readers at the dollar store and turning the shade lighter.

Lol.. 2 things.. us welders call that first one popcorn. Not because how it looks but the sound it makes when welding. 2nd. Sometimes even the ugliest welds hold the best lol

BTW.. the others look great!

I DIYed a driveway scraper,,
it needed a little more "bite", so I added a couple 42 Lb front end weights,,
and I pull a set of truck chains behind it,,

It does a great job,,,



It also does a great job of spreading "horse pucks",,,

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
