Default Bigger Shoes

I made these skis to keep the snow thrower up out of the stone in my 800' lane. The skis are made from 3/8"x2"x14" steel with adjustable mounts. This makes it much easyer to adjust the height and skim off the snow just above the stone. Now I can let the thrower all the way down in float position now with no worries of the snow thrower becoming a stone thrower.

That is a great idea. Question. does your wider/longer skids affect your ability to turn or adjust forward direction?

You know what Doug? It ain't true LOL.....
Paul, the skids are big enough they add alot of flotation so the thrower just glides along, steering wherever I want. This is the first winter using the V-61s and that helps the possible steering issues. Thanks everybody,

My goodness, a nice set of these on my 2-stage walk-behind would work wonders for me. Nice idea.

I made a set a couple of years ago out of a old spring leaf from a P.U. truck
nothing like using a piece of "scrap" and it is long wearing.

Nice shoes! This is my first year with my Cub Cadet and a MTD blower. The skids on the blower really stink and I have been contemplating making something just like this. Thanks for sharing!

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.
