In Reply to: 317 tractor snow blade rubber cutting edge posted by Mickey on Friday, October 31, 2003:
Mickey - Deere sells a rubber squeegee kit, but it's kind of pricey. I bought a "cow mat" 4' x 6' x about 5/8" thick. It was made out of dense black rubber - pretty heavy duty stuff. I used a 1" x 4" pine board cut to 54" and used that as a template to trim out a piece. I then placed the metal cutting edge's top edge along one edge of the board and marked the holes, clamped it to the rubber squeegee, and transfer drilled the holes through both the board and the squeegee. Bought some longer bolts (stainless steel) and sandwiched the squeegee between the mold board of the blade and the metal cutting edge. Worked great. - Dave
