New skids for snow blades

[akiszka]

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up on a conversion I just did to my 54" plow. It was missing the skids and would dig when trying to plow. I knew IH/CC skids are small diameter and can dig as well. I bought a skid kit for a warn ATV plow, it turns out that it pretty much a bolt on. I had to clearance the skid bracket to match the blade angle with a hand hack saw and thats all. The bolt provided in the kit was even the corrct size. A lock washer is all the hardware you need. There is plenty of adjustment to hold the blade from just skimming to 2" off the ground.

Anthony,

What did that kit cost? I have a blade that is missing the skids also, and that would be a great kit to get if it isn't to expensive. I have also thought about rigging up some wheels like the township I worked for used on the gravel roads. I use it on all concrete right now so the skids mainly will help to save the life on the cutting edge.

They were 25$-35$ or so do a search online for Warn, thats the mfg, atv skids kit. I had a local atv dealer order them for me, the carried Warn plows. P/N is 69073.
