Belly Blade

[8ntruck 7,101]

Has anybody ever seen a belly blade that would use the mid mount? 

 

Something like that would be handy for light driveway grading & such.

Yes there is such a blade. I have one and love it.

At one point in my life I had two, the older front mount shown in the Wiki and a rear mount, sold the rear mount a couple years back.

Was the stone rake produced by wheel horse?

No, that is home made. The tines were purchased from Agri-Supply and the rest is just angle iron, channel iron and flat strap. Built it while living in Florida, it works great for hurricane clean-up!

Here's a thread I threw on last year so others could fabricate one if so desired.

 

It's now mounted on Trina's 867.

Musta missed that thread EB .....that 867 is got a  nice patina.... guess I didn't  realize you had a tractor that wasn't painted some unhorsely color

I bartered a Briggs Industrial engine and some cash for this one... I hope to some day see some of those Briggs parts purring on a GT

953 are you independently lifting the rear rake and the blade?

 

If so, how?

 

[DBlackston 298]

I also have a mid mount, but have never used it due to tractor issues.

 

I cannot wait to do some grading though! It's one of the main reasons I purchased an HY-3 setup as well!

 

Heres one of the main pictures I saved as inspiration for my 704 rebuild.

@8ntruck keep looking they do come up on here for sale. You just have to keep looking. @pullstart In time my friend in time. I just wonder how much of it I can salvage? The blade Looks good on there, that patina somewhat fits right in!

They both use the same lift. I was setting up to smooth out some new fill dirt and was going to use both at the same time.
