    I have no idea, came with the tractor, Googled it several times and never came up with a source. A simple job for a qualified machine shop though.

    David Bradley Pull Type Adjustable Blade

    Yeah you got that right there's not much out there at all and I've been all over the place. I did find one that sold on Big Iron the beginning of June for around $500 and some odd dollars. But other than that absolutely nothing.

    David Bradley Pull Type Adjustable Blade

    That is a thought I guess, I might keep my eye on it. Weld County's pretty far away from me, probably three or four hours, with the price of fuel and the amount of time I'm not sure. Depends on what it's going for at the time I guess.

    David Bradley Pull Type Adjustable Blade

    Started to work on the pintle to draw bar conversion tonight. The existing pintle hook is not round, which will work to my advantage Made an insert, 2.25 x 1.00 with a 1.125 center hole, that center hole will house a 1.125 x .75 bronze bushing The outside will be taken down to be a tight...

    David Bradley Pull Type Adjustable Blade

    There is an inch of adjustment, the left hole is at max, right is about centered. I guess when using the back upper holes, and with flex, they may come in handy. I'll make one for the left.

    David Bradley Pull Type Adjustable Blade

    While mine may be prettier, to some, that is a true classic. Even if it were all rusted together, it is fantastic 'yard art' at the very least!

    David Bradley Pull Type Adjustable Blade

    That was my thought, I have a draw bar and a spare pintle hitch, (could also just pin it to the draw bar, but a pintle hitch will add versatility). still nursing a shoulder surgery, but that's what neighbors are for. (who do you think man handled those levers to check the articulation)! Any...

    David Bradley Pull Type Adjustable Blade

    Ended up giving $340 for it, checked out the bearings and all was good, towed it home behind my truck. Simple, well built and very functionable. A nice addition. I has had some repairs and the welds look like mine, not pretty but penetrated. Needs few drain hole drilled here and there. Looks...
