It is also much better on your concrete ... squeegees the surface as opposed to abrading the top layer..
Tire tread works great but it is a bear to work with.. Once you have it mounted it takes shape well and is a tough blade edge.. :smile:KennyV
Kenny, I had to use a half inch drill and a 5/8 inch bit to drill the 6 holes for the half-inch carriage bolts that go thru my back blade cutting edge and the tire tread...and it was still really a wrist-twisting exercise drilling through the wire reinforced rubber. I am thinking maybe next time I replace the rubber edge (if ever) I will just go to a retread shop and buy or beg a section of car tire tread...the truck tire tread I found on the shoulder was so thick and stiff from all the brass wires embedded in it, the cutting and drilling took a long time. Somebody told me that the tread I found, because it was still a round doughnut, must have come off a tire not retreaded, because when a retread fails it usually breaks off chunks of rubber and not in one complete section? Anyone know otherwise? :confused2:
