I picked up a TSC back blade. Been looking on Craigslist, newspapers, backyards, yard sales, but couldn't find anything worth buying. Most were 6 or seven foot blades. I needed a 5' and they are rare around here. On the fourth picture, if you look real close, you can see that the blade was welded on crooked. Just over 1/4 inch out.

Here are some pictures

Congrats on your blade. It does not look like it was used much. 5' blades are hard to find around here too. I try to be patient when I am looking for a used implement but IDK if I could hold out 2 years.

Just looking at a picture I can't really tell. Is the right side lower?

Yes sir it is, by just over 1/4 inch. I used their tape measure to check everything before I purchased it.

I doubt I would have noticed it in the pictures unless you pointed it out. I could tell it was off by the how the brace was running in relationship to the brake in the moldboard.

That's what caught my eye at TSC, so I started measuring.:)
