It covers assembly, height adjustment against the ground, and a real-world test plowing snow, plus a follow-up shot showing bolt wear after three days of use. Best for plow owners needing a stopgap repair idea, not general tractor shoppers.
Posted by the Scott Hamilton channel, an owner sharing a hands-on DIY repair from personal use of his own equipment.
Use a seven-inch carriage bolt, three washers, a three-quarter mall washer, a rubber snubber, and a locking nut to build a stand-in skid shoe, then adjust height with washers.
Lower the blade onto a flat surface, add or remove washers until the blade barely skims the ground, resting against the rubber snubber for support.
After three days of plowing snow, the carriage bolt head had worn down quite a bit, suggesting it is the likely failure point of this temporary fix.
