What to do with old Hyfax and carbides?

[alswagg]

I was going through old parts today. I found a total of 8 used hyfax and 5 sets of old carbides. What does everyone do with these type of old parts? I mean the carbides could be used in an emergency but I would never install used Hyfax. Is there any use for the worn out hyfax other than the recycler? Al

old hyfax works good for the bottom of a snowplow to keep blade from gouging up concrete and blacktop drives.

tunnel protectors... you could probably find a million uses for for them if you have a garage

I've saw slides used for treads on a trailer to help in loading, looks like it would work slick and cut about 12-15" long.At work we've used old carbides cut in chunks and welded to the bottom of snowblower skids for a virtually indestructable skid and seeing the carbides are generally worn down flat they don't scratch things up much at all.

we use the hyfax on the bottom of sleighs ie the otter or the homemade kind for icefishing

Ya, I use the hyfax for the bottom if my ice fishing sled too. It keeps the sled nice and new and acts as runners to keep it from going from side to side when towing.

I cut my old hyfax into peices & burn them in the woodstove. They make a lot of heat.
