I did think about the tires before snapping pics, but it was beer time.Your mower deck needs to be cleaned, and polished. You should be ashamed of yourself posting a picture with dirty tires and mower deck.

EA 6 Way Deluxe Scrape Blades do not do that.Realized the 3x3 boom on the 5 Foot County Line back blade was collecting water.
Drilled an 1/8” weep hole in it to drain water out. Bet there was almost a gallon in it.
It’s chilly in the garage…..I had to pee almost immediately….

Good for you.EA 6 Way Deluxe Scrape Blades do not do that.
.....but......they do cost more!
Thank you for your enlightening response.Good for you.
Your blade is probably bigger, better and obviously more expensive than mine….
You’ve got an an L48, right?
Remember someone here on OTT that responded like that a lot. He had not 1, but 2 M9000’s. Probably had the longest dillywacker west of the Mississippi.
You might be related. ….
Wouldn’t spend that for a BX anyway. Would be foolish.
Got it at local Tractor Supply. Loaded it up and drove home with it. Took 40 minutes.
Was the only 5’ blade I could find during COVID shutdown.
You know what fried1765….how was your comment about your EA 6 Way Deluxe blade related to water in my $250 TSC blade????Thank you for your enlightening comments!
Much appreciated!
My 6 way blade did that, it not a cheap thing, it's a missed design detail.EA 6 Way Deluxe Scrape Blades do not do that.

@RCW, it's not worth the effort. I always enjoy your posts and the fact that you use your equipment regularly. I don't give a toss about how little someone paid for a piece of equipment that they never use or how great that piece of equipment is. I have more regard for a member that paid a premium or overpaid for something and then uses the heck out of it. That's probably the thing I've come to realize more than anything else on this forum. I pay a lot more attention to members who actually use their equipment rather than those whose experience seems to be based more on what they've read rather than what they've done, or preferably, what they do. You are certainly in the last group and I appreciate your contribution here.We’ve had this type of exchange before, and I’m growing tired of it.
Next month, I’ll have 10 years on OTT.
Well said and I share those sentiments.@RCW, it's not worth the effort. I always enjoy your posts and the fact that you use your equipment regularly.

Don't you just love that - I have the same situation. We live at the end and I take care of the whole thing. The last thing the folks below think about is how hard it will make the plowing if they go out needlessly when the snow is wet.I got to enjoy snow at both ends of the country this past week. I wasn't on the hook for removing any of the snow in Illinois though, but got back yesterday afternoon from a week long trip and the need to cleanup after another winter storm last Thursday and Friday. Once again I have to deal with folks driving over the snow and compacting it into ice, which makes removal near impossible until it warms up enough to be able to scrape the ice off the asphalt.

When you say stud wood, is that destined for a sawmill for dimensional lumber? Maybe your sawmill?
You've got your tractor well-equipped for your use.
I did the same thing with both of my Tractor Supply (6ft & 7ft) rear blades. I also removed the original lock pin that is hooked on by the chain & welded on the top, replaced them with a 3/4" hitch pin that had a large diameter washer welded to it to keep the rain and snow from going down inside the square tube. I packed some grease around the holes under the hitch pin washer area to help defect water from seeping in. So far so good, it has help tremendously. By design its never going to not have water in it, the best that can be done is drilling a weep hole like you an i both did.Realized the 3x3 boom on the 5 Foot County Line back blade was collecting water.
