With winter coming up, IM bumping this for those who may want to see it..
I was given a Land Pride RB1572 rear blade and got the horse mat installed on it this week.. Overall its pretty simple, the biggest issue was trying to get the edge+rubber lifted up and bolted to the blade the first time.. Once I got the first bolt in everything else was easier..
FYI - the bolts that came off the rear blade were 2" long 5/8" carriage bolt "type" (they set flush into the scraper edge).. Lowes didnt have 5/8" bolts so I went with 3" long, 1/2" bolts - DO NOT get carriage bolts (unless you want to make another trip back to Lowes - you need to be able to keep the bolt from turning) get regular headed bolts.. I used flat washers on both ends of the bolts. I also went with a lock washer and nuts with the nylon/locking inserts.
Im excited to see how this works this year.. First year with this blade and chains for the rear tires
