Box Scraper question

[bhalv09]

I recently picked up a wee little 3ft box scraper for my b6000, kinda neat in that the rear blade is hinged and can flip out of the way.
As per usual, there were no rippers with it, I have a 15" (maybe 18") ripper that's approximately 2.5x.75" that fits in there, but the question is how in the world you would pin it with this setup? I'm sure somebody has run in to this before.

My box blade has rippers (scarifiers) with slots in them and I did not get the locking mechanisms when I bought it used. What I do is set the scarifiers at the depth I want with the notch set in the rim of the cross bar slot and then jam a wood wedge in between the ripper and the hole.

Picked up a lightly used 48" LandPride box scraper. Has these spring metal clips to wedge the scarifiers in position. Maybe an option?

Being a dolt I thought I could just pinch the clips to remove. I can pinch them up to a point, but not enough to remove. Today is day 3 of ownership. No tool box on the BX. NH had one as "std" equipment. But that was 24 years ago. Who operates a tractor without an onboard tool box? Need to pack at least a plier in that tiny by the seat compartment behind the cup holder. Larger compartment with no cup holder would have been ok with me. Tool box. Another add on the list.

New keepers for shanks on box blade

The keepers that come on the Land Pride box blade are a pain to get out when you are trying to do work with and move the shanks up and down. I saw these on eBay and thought I would give them a try. They call them F-pins and were $26.74 with shipping for five of them. Seem to work so far, I...
