My recent foray into implements

Think I stumbled on something that may do the trick. For reasons unknown to me, I like to explore these things and learn along the way and so it goes with rear blades. Who would guess, that there is a decent history lesson in rear blades?

Found a Dearborn/Danuser blade in really nice condition for a 55 year old blade. It's in Ohio, and now I'm figuring out logistics to get this old blade to New Hampshire.

When it arrives, it will be wire brushing, light sandblasting, etching, priming and shooting that ol' Ford 8N red on it for a 55 year old blade that will fit the bill on the Whimpster.

I'll post a picture when it arrives and after restoration. But more importantly, I have 75 yards of loam to move drop and level out, that shiny old blade is back to doing what it is supposed to be doing...keeping me off the streets and out of trouble.

The adventure continues.

Good luck with your acquisition..... ..Ed

For some reason, I like the idea of obtaining the implements that were made 'back then' for these 9/2/8N's. Something about the history of the manufacturer, talking to collectors, and finding a blade in very good overall condition. Can't wait to get my hands, er ah, I mean grinding and wire wheels, and air gun on it.

And, then it's loamthirty...well, at least when the loam is done, it will be beerthirty; sitting back and looking at the old blade and seeing the scratches I just put on it after some sweat equity! It doesn't get any better than this. 9N'er
