BX2360, FEL, MMM, BX2750D snowblower. 1953 Minneapolis Moline ZAU
Long while back I tinkered with my BX2750D snowblower shoes.
They're damned butt-ugly, but have been great. They also don't match - tried 2 different designs and never figured both would last this long.....

At the time, bearbait and 1 or 2 others suggested UHMWP for the shoes.
I did a good-sized brick patio this year, and want a non-abrasive/smoother plate on the shoes. I also think an additional 3/8-1/2" of lift would be good.
I ordered a 0.5x12x12" UHMWP piece from Amazon....gonna try to bolt 6x6" shoes to my shoes.....for $22, I guess it's worth a try, and if I screw it up, have enough to do it right the second time....!
Never worked with it, but just thinking some carriage bolts...counter-sink the heads on the underside and call it good?
