Three Rib Tires

Two summers ago I picked up these tri-rib tires at the Walloon Lake Tractor Show. I wasn’t sure what I would use them for but figured some future project. Can’t ever have too many tires! If someone would have told me at that time that the tires will go on your walk-behind snowblower, I would have thought they were crazy!

Well today I designed a swivel steer assembly with those and made them into a narrow front type steering system.

With the front blade removed it could do a nose dive, but if the sulky was attached it would be fine. The front assembly will bolt on and off so the blade can still be used in the winter. Just another fun little workshop project.

Deb and I went for a nice walk outside today as it reached 54 degrees today! (:>)

Have a great Sunday!
