A really good friend told me that he as an old beat up back blade sitting in his scrap heap. He asked me if I wanted it. Before taking someone elses garbage, I asked for photos as he lives several hours away. He pulled the blade out of the pile and snapped a few photos.

After making the drive and seeing it with my own eyes, I realized that it was going to take a bit of work. My original idea was to cut off the bent part, slide a bigger square piece over what was left, and make it work that way. I was unable to find the proper metal for a reasonable price. So I ended up simply replacing the entire tongue.

While battling a cold, I was able to repair and save this back blade.

Thanks for Watchin!
