View attachment 497497I've been off work for a week and usually don't get on here much at home. Many pages back I mentioned getting a new sled. First trip out was great. It far outperforms my old sled (2012)
In SLC it is raining a little with more rain/snow mix until Wednesday. Temps are mild with it being 48 right now at 11 pm.

47 going to 50 today with 90% chance of rain. Be wet for all the people walking for Beach Cleanup fro 9 to 12 AM I lucked out I'm a driver I just hand out new trash bags and call for a truck if big items are found. Our Ham Radio Club does this 3 to 4 times a year.

Don, hard to believe that a working HD 7' blade is only worth $100.

Here is a comparison blade locally. It's a lightweight, 6', 2-way compared to my Heavy weight, 7', 6-way.
6 ft Grader blade for Sale

Can anyone fide a used 7', 6-way in your area?

What was not kept clean, the chimney, creosote build-up?

I just took it off my tractor yesterday everything works. I use it about once a year.

Sorry, misunderstood. Thought it was an unknown blade you were considering buying. My bad!

14 right now...heading to the mid-20's.

Stepdaughter has returned from a 2 week house sitting stint in Lebanon, NH. The house had a pellet stove and I hope it's not the same house Thomas wrote about!

Maybe a dump run this morning...no other plans.

Good morning!

Drew thanks for the link to the new drag blades. I was calling it a 3-way blade but it's actually called a 6-way. I'll put out the word around town and see if anyone is interested before advertising. This old Iron is very heavy - they don't make them like this anymore so I'm hoping someone will see the value and snatch it up for $700. That gives me room for a friends, family and TBN discount.

glad it helped. A six way, if they all work without that wonderful push against a tree experience, and nothing is bent,
you bet I'd ask 700. It's a cat 2 also which means larger tractors can use it.
So here's the question, is it worth Don spending 20 bucks on three rattle cans of correct color paint?
Would that provide good ROI? Or does its original patina have value as showing the true history of the machine?
Two very different buyers... Since he is getting up to the half way line of the cost of a new unit, what does your local
buyer expect? (vs say Greenwich CT) For Texas farmers/ranchers who actively use their equipment and have long ago scraped all the paint off, then they will look at the "as is" with a different set of eyes. I'm guessing that's Don's approach.
Paint has been used to cover many sins, cracks, discoloration, etc which would have told their story before being hidden.
