Caster wheel kit for snow blade

[Arnie_T]

Here in the Tug Hill region of NY--there are a lot of gravel driveways-- one local trick is to attach a piece of round iron pipe below or instead of the cutting blade. This is used until you get a good level base of ice packed snow going--and then you can remove the pipe. The upside is you limit divits in the lawn and you don't drag gravel or driveway gravel mix around. The down side is you may have to spread some sand during the notorious January thaw if it gets too icy--and you might have a bit of a challenge in the spring thaw until total melt. Here the snow can start in October and be gone near or into April

I just welded 3 ears to the pipe and attached to the plow through the two outer and one center cutting edge attachment bolt holes. Simple to attach or remove as necessary.

I tried the pipe last year and it worked good. The pipe I used was 2 " plastic gas line pipe , I just slit it the full length and slid it over the plow. Like I said it worked good but it would not last very long as the gravel wore the pipe thin and then it would not stay on the blade. Your idea sounds better.
