40 dollar grader blade.

So I finaly found something them green and yellow tractors are good for. I happened to be roaming at jacktown yesterday when me and my dad saw this short not sotall john deere snow plow blade sitting in a guys stall for sale.

Not to shabby a Blade. came with the mount plate for if i had what ever john deere it was ment for and the rest of the bits heeded to work it.

it fits under neith no cutting or chopping. i did flip it over though to raise the mount up higher but still needed to build drop links and brace arms.

It lifts and lowers now all i need to do is rework my brace arms to move it forward under the tractor more so i can tilt the blade. it raises and lowers via a stainless steel wire rope threw a pulley to the lift sector of the big Allis. even got to play and move some of my drive way gravel around.

well that is it for now when i finish getting it all just right ill post better pictures.

The blade was only 35 dollars the brackets are made from a dead non useable cutting edge from another plow i own cut up nicely and the cable and hardware are from TSC

Okay as I promised pictures of how it mounts and hooks up plus i finished the tweaking and mods.

The right sides mounting along with the pulley i used to route the steel cable threw to make forward and back into up and down motion for lift.

Left side mounting system

the cutting edge drilled and placed on the blade in its new position.

where i lift at on the plow/grader.
