Hey Bill Caldwell

I read with intrest your post about busg hog blades earlier and when I got a chance to come back and read up some more on it I was surprised at all the fuss that some of the guys kicked up. I was sent with a snapper mower blade one time to a guy for him to sharpen. I thought man what a waste this thing is shot. I had the priviledge of watching a real blacksmith at work as he cut out the end section and welded new steel in place and hammered an edge on it that I would challenge any body to do as good a job with a grinder. Yes as some argue you can buy new blades cheaper but I question do you have as good a product. It is my opinion that for the money bush hog blades should last a lot longer than they do. I am afraid we the many are at the mercy of too few a people because we have for so long taken the easy way out instead of keeping the practice of make do and keep going with what we have. When I grew up they were a couple of guys around here that could make or repair a part about as quick as we could drive to the dealer to get it. Especialy if we had to order it and wait a day or two. I priced a little part a few years ago that was around thirty dollars. One of the welders on the jobsite I was working at the time made me one out of scrap stainless on lunch break asked for a couple of bales of straw for payment. Thanks again for the post and I look foward to hearing more from you later.
