Ford 8N Snow Blade Trick

Found this trick on YesterdaysTractor site...Take a 4" piece of PVC and slit it lengthwise using a table saw. Then slit it again, about 1/2" or 3/4" (put a little piece of wood in the notch so it doesn't close up behind your saw). Then drill 4 holes along each side of the notch, 1 at either end and space out 2 more wherever you want. Then simply use bungee cords over the top, or rope, and secure it to the blade. Slides real nice on tar and even over grass so you never have to worry about damage. This happened to be a 5' piece for < $10 at Lowes.



Now I can push snow way back on my grass, and, stop any scraping damage to my tar driveway. I have a lot of cracking on mine and over the years have put down crack filler liquid and the blade was hard on that...
