Got the deck adjustments figured out , new belt in hand , and am
awaiting those tires to get it adjusted properly . If all the new
parts arrive on time I'll be spending friday and saturday (if she
works both) finishing up and getting the front blade back on .

Is it just a scraper blade, for leveling your drive, or what? Pics,
please, once she's mounted.


It's a regular blade like you'd see on a dozer , hydraulic up and
down - I can lift the front wheels off the ground with it . I had to
take it off the get at the mower drive box . I can either run it
square for a straight push or angle it to either side . It has a
spring so if I hit something it tilts , or can be locked upright .
I've used it to spread gravel on my driveway , and it works just
swell for clearing snow/ice . The neighbors love that ...


That's cool! Hyd or pin/hole angle adjustment?


Pin in hole . Probably worked better when new , there's some slop now in the
pivot holes . Sometimes tends to climb when dragging backwards . There are
also two sleeves with holes on the back side at the ends , look like they
were maybe for some kind of slider or something to prevent gouging say when
plowing snow .
