This project is still in the "scrounging" stage, but I've managed to score 85% of what I need.... for only $8!!!

What do you get when you combine a free garden tractor snow blade, a $3 bed frame, four steel wheelbarrow wheels ($5) and some scrap 3/4" pipe?

We'll pull it with the oil pull pup in parades, and follow with the little roller. Someday I'd like to build a rock crusher, too. Kim says we could call ourselves "Flybynight Contracting"... but I still prefer "Not for Hire" :hDe:

This thing is turning out to be a fairly easy build (there isn't really much to it)
