Charliebrn, what are the two button looking things on the rear crossmember in pic 1.

I believe they are guage wheels or skids. J

 

[Charliebrn]

Yup, tres is right, gauge wheels. It's a light duty blade that I mostly use for just snow, and I feel better with those wheels there, keeps from marking up my pavement too much. I made them myself with some casters I bought from Andersons and some long carriage bolts. If anyone is interested, I can take a picture of them for details. They've worked well for two winters now, and I think i've got something like $5 bucks total invested in them... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Oh, one other thing. I've posted a compilation of mods to my tractor at the following link. It's a work in progress, i still have some more I need to post....

I was refering to what looks like two toggle switches near the taillight. Are those for your lights?

Yes, please provide a closeup of those caster wheels. I have some heavy duty wheels that I'd like to install if I had a good method.

Darn, you've got an eye for detail. I had to go back and look real hard to see what you meant.
