Metal Skid Shoes On Walk-Behind Snowblower Replaced With Wheeled “Runners"
 ✖  |
Hugo Bach, Osoyoos, B.C.: He replaced the metal skid shoes on his walk-behind snowblower with wheeled “runners” that won’t wear out like skid shoes do. He removed the skid shoes and their slotted mounting brackets from the snowblower housing. He used the existing holes to bolt a 3-in. high by 9-in. long by 1/4-in. thick steel plate onto each side of the housing, then bolted a 3-in. high by 3/4-in. wide hard rubber wheel on back of the plates.
Bach says the wheeled runners lift the snowblower when it encounters any high spots on the surface, yet leave about the same amount of snow on the surface as a conventional plow with properly adjusted skid shoes.
