making my own dozer blade handle

[t_furl43 78]

i was wondering if any of you guys have ever made your own dozer blade handle that allows it to oscillate, if so what did you use and how did you do it? i have a piece of flat bar 35" long 1 1/2 wide...... tia fellas

@t_furl43  , when recovering my lever , I found one  on the bay , also detailed  its function  on a milk crate build up , for easy roller stool  move around  function check , that  swing quadrant , should be detail lubricated , for both swing arc area , and spring loaded stop pin function , penetrating oil for rust run out , then lucas xtra heavy duty , chassis grease , will stay with it . also add washers to the lever rod linkage , for a solid smooth swing point.  once I  found the perfect , set up, I  duplicated it on my other plow . when you add the hair pin clip to the end of the frame area , push the clip all the way thru the end , so it rests in the big hole end , so you will not loose it , been there ,  i also  made up 1/2" thread rod heim joint s for my blade lever rod set up . pete

@- furl43, another thing about about doing an elevated  milk crate build is , that you can verify and check all your  functions , what ever you have , is exactly  what you are going to hook up to the tractor . my hand lever , pin , slides into into that quadrant arc , like a smooth solid bolt . washering  up those sloppy joint ends , and lubing , gives them  solid / smooth function . totally eliminate any rust on every moving area . this is what I do , you do not have to do this . just an idea , pete
