Hit up some antique shops yesterday and hit the junk yard afterwards.we got to the lawn and garden area and started the hunt for anything old. My son Found a round fender blade under a pile of push mowers. We cleaned it off and found serial tag and started looking it over. Turns out to be a model 42 6 way blade. We gathered up our items and headed for the cashier. We inquired on the price of snow plows. He said $30. We took our stuff to the car, went back in and rented a wagon for $10 and grabbed the snow plow. Serial #4605

This thing has been in the weather for a while. A lot of the pivot points are tight.Sunday night i sprayed penetrating oil on all of them. Waited 2 hours and started working them. Got everything freed up except the up/down angle part of it. Got the pull pin freed up yesterday. Started soaking the large flat plat that pivots. see if i can get that freed up.

The cashier was clueless. i had 2 12" hubcaps(very rusty)2 6" hubcaps they should clean up.A snowblower car cover for 5 hp tecumseh, a solid state coil for 12 hp tecumseh. snowblower springs for a mf 620 snow blower. a shield for the back side of mighty mac shredder, and the screen for one also. $15 for all that.My son got a complete chrome handle bar for a toro push mower that we were hoping fit his jd 20 push mower and it fits perfectly.He's working on restoring it. My parents bought it brand new in 79 i think.he also got a white emblem to hang in his room. $7 for those 2 item.
