"Blade Runners" On Deere Garden Tractors Prevent Gouging The Lawn
My new "blade runners" are designed to fit blades on Deere lawn and garden tractors to prevent gouging the lawn when plowing snow. It also protects the blade edge. They mount in existing skid shoe holes on the back side of the blade and can be adjusted for height using holes in the mounting bracket.
  Deere blades come with skid shoes, but they're only 1 1/2 in. wide which isn't wide enough to keep the blade's edge up off the ground. My blade runner is 5 in. wide, and the shoe extends an inch or so in front of the blade to keep the blade's edge off the ground. When you don't need to use the blade runners you can pull pins to remove them.
  They sell for $39 per pair plus S&H. (Eldon Oyen, 2387 Birchwood Dr., Dubuque, Iowa 52002 ph 563 583-3671)
