Will a grader blade for a 520H fit a 502XI?

[RedMaine 1]

I am in touch with a seller of a nice grader blade (model 79351) that he used with a 520H. I am wondering what possible modifications would be necessary, or is it not woth while to try and fit it on my 520XI?

I did read maybe a year ago of someone who did this or tried to do this and it was quite a job. I do know there are very skilled people here that can probably whip one of these out with ease, but what I remember reading, it was quite a task for the average guy-IMO.

I did that but the other way, I had a XI grader I made fit my 520 I had to cut about 5" out of the frame in the rear and reweld the cross bar back in, so you would have to add about 5" to the rear frame. other than that it was a direct fit, Oh the lift link I had to use off a reg. snow blade the XI one would not fit.

If you decided to pass on this grader, I'd love the contact infor. I've been looking for a grader for my 520H off and on, for quite some time.

Thanks,
