@Freebirdthank you for that picture! Looks like it could be a nice addition!!

@ascaife01 I'm pretty sure it is an old Cotes model I bought at a swap meet! I have one on each of my 2 lawn tractors as shown in pictures. Have tried to find them at different stores but don't see them around (yellow,green and red but not blue)unless from a jobber shop but WAY out of what I can afford!

I find a lot of things on Facebook that are probably scams. I think I've seen at least 3 or 4 tire changers way to low in price. Also bike movers(dollies) tables and add on's. You would think(yeh right) that they would try to keep scammers off or at least put something on to designate true sites!

I was wondering if you could post picture of item please as I would like in on this! I have my 2012 Venture with 124727klms(77501.7miles) which I bought brand new and have driven it with great pride these many years . Drove it daily to work everyday (rain or shine from late March till snow stopped me,even during winter on good dry days) until retiring in 2020 because of health reasons (diagnosed with Diabetes) (also had 2 months short of 30 years). Ride it as much as I can except right now needs rear tire. Have gone out a few times still when dry just to keep my sanity in check!! Would have liked something newer but when retired wife showed up to show me what car she would like for my retirement present!!! So I will be driving my last(do not mind at all) for as long as I am around and maybe convert to keep going if I can! Not very lucky at draws so here goes!!!!(if I was I would have won SOMETHING by now!!)

First picture: bent bar on right goes thru body where deck raise was and connects with rod inside then out to a set up that when you pull back it rotates bar then lift blade which is mounted to frame ahead of rear tires. Bar next to bent bar and beside hood is mounted to frame with threaded rod thru body to blade with eyelets which when pulled to back it rotates blade to left then when pushed back forwards it rotates to right. If you blow up 3rd pic. you should be able to see where it pushes back then pivots blade to go up.Rod on left fender is for forward and reverse There is a cable under seat that I pull to lift eye bolt up to let blade swing either way. Works much better in reverse than forward as it can turn sharper onto sidewalk instead of back and forth to line up when going forward similar to driving tow motor.

Sorry @ragtop69gs read wrong ,we haven't had a K Mart for a long time!

@ragtop69gs no I didn't buy at Walmart but from swap meet years ago. It is on my 2 tractors when I plow and blow snow from mine and neighbors sidewalks and lane ways as it is used for visibility when snowing. Even then I have to watch all the idiot drivers when going lane way to lane way.

Happy New Year from Phantom Wife and I!!!!

Was out running my tractors to make sure that they run waiting for snow sometime and even though bike needs new tire I just couldn't resist taking it for a ride! Was out for an hour. Glad I did as it was GREAT!!!!!

Condolences from Phantom Wife and I on your loss!!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to one and all!!!!!

Had to replace string lights as half of each string quit working.

Here"s looking for good outcome!!

Good to hear!!

Went for probably my last long ride for this season as My back tire is in need of changing.Was 3deg and went for 60klm ride to get 5lb bag of raisins and 5lb bag of peanuts for snacks. Sorry @XV1100SE it is usually hard to give much notice as I usually don't know far enough ahead of when I will be going anywhere.

How are things going? Any new updates?

Sorry to hear this!!! Hope you two get well soon!!!

Out for another 100klm ride today as I went to Kitchener Princess Auto for a few things that I couldn't get yesterday as they were closed. Sorry to @XV1100SE Don and @ReinyRooster for not getting in touch with you while I was there as I visited with my nephew for a couple hours and then was time to head home. Got home around 4:15.

Went for 100klm ride today. Wife needed cigarettes and I planned on shopping at Princess Auto but forgot they were closed today because of Remembrance DAY. Stopped in to see MarCarl and Marca but he was out. Showed up in a few minutes to have a short conversation as he was home for a quick lunch then had to leave. Was a good one anyway. Left around 11am got back around 3pm

Sorry to hear about your predicament! Hope you get well soon with minor systems!

Good job!!!

Don't know what happened!

Thanks for information but unfortunately will not be attending but we will be thinking of him,Deb and family! He will be missed!!

Still here, still ridding!
