Polyurethane, urethane, U, edge...
I did a search, and got no results with any of those words. So, I guess this'll be the first thread about them...
I'm installing one on an 8.5 Meyer. (My first U edge.) The steel edge isn't completely shot, so I'm just flipping it over. The bolt holes line up so that what was formerly the top of the steel edge will now be even with the bottom of the plow moldboard itself. From other reading I've done, I plan on leaving 1 1/2 inches of edge (same thickness as the U edge), below the plow. Somebody confirm that that's a good way to do it?
Once it has worn down (hopefully after many happy hours of plowing), what's the best way to remount it for further wear? It looks like if I move it down and drill new holes, the old holes will eventually be in contanct with the pavement. On the ither hand, if I flip it and drill new holes, it looks like when that side wears down ther'll still be a good sized hunk of it left, but with two sets of holes in it. What's the best way to get the most useful life out of it?
