Hi All, I am a newbe to the forum. My son recently bougth a 7 acre farm and a Kubota B7001 with RS1000 tiller and 48" FEL. I have been helping him get started and found a 42" snow blade from a small Ford tractor for $100.00 and decided I might be able to modify it to fit his Kubota. The blade needed a push point that would allow the blade to float as his FEL bucket has a HYSpec two lever controller which does not have the ability to float the bucket. So I made a clamp on bracket with chain to keep the blade straight when it is articulated left of right. For the push point I created a combination trailer hitch with cross bar to attach the push bar. I will try to post some pictures in case anyone is interested. Please forgive my lack of welding skills but I feel I have a legitamate excuse as I am a 75 year old grand father and have never welded anything in my life before. I inherited a stick welder from my father-in-law a few years back but never had the urge or need to try it. I had a lot of trouble getting a weld going and a friend suggested that a mig welder would be easer to start with. So my welds are not pretty but I think I got enough penetration that it will all hold together.
