You're right, but it gives you alot more room to work if you do move it out of the way.Originally Posted by BruceTS

Good write up. I have not needed to do this in a year now so I imagine it will be needed before too long now. Thanks.

In case you have a Budbuilt skid this easy mod will save you a lot of time on the trail. Better to spend 15 minutes doing this now rather than the PITA it will be to remove and replace the skid in the hot sun/cold snow. I drilled a 1.125" (1-1/8") hole 2-3/8" in from the edge of the skid.

I just got an e-mail back from Bud. I sent him the pics suggesting the change if it's cost effective and it turns out that they already started doing that on the skids last fall.
Gotta love that Bud!
