lawnmower wheels instead of skid shoes

has anyone done this mod? i read somewhere where this was done to a degree of success and effectiveness, especially on a gravel surface.
of course, an adapter of sorts will be needed. i was thinking maybe the adjusting part that the wheel attaches to on the lawnmower to be used as that adapter.
any cons to doing this?

Yeah it's seen a few hunks of snow. The pic is from 07' but it still looks pretty good. Inside the impeller housing it is getting scraped up a bit though. Last year I wrapped a piece of 3/8" aluminum rod around the auger. Surprised it didn't hurt anyting though. Not even a shearpin. Wash no wax yes at least once a season. Oops I wasn't supposed to tell you. Stainless bolts. Half inch steel stock cut with CNC. Zinc coated. O
Good job bud.
Skids for life. Nice work too.
