Propane Tank Back Blade Build

[mazzbob]

A friend gave me an Old 100 lbs. Propane Tank. I decided to use it, and build a Back Blade. I used a drill press, stick welder and a 4.5 inch hand grinder to complete this project. I used the Brinly Moldboard Beam, whereby there are some adjustments to the cutting angle. I also had to reinforce the Sleeve Hitch for strength. There are 30°, 45°, 90° Blade angle adjustments on Horizontal and Vertical plains. So far I have done some trial Soil Leveling which has worked well.

mazzbob,

Excellent repurpose/ upcycle of scrap metal. Sure beats turning a propane tank into a potential hand grenade like another thread got involved in.

That turned out totally pro!

Well done

Love the scraper and your tractor. My dad had 70's era cubcadet, best little tractor i've ever seen.

Just made some Wing Nuts for it. Now I don't have to use a wrench. Thanks, for the kind comments.

Very nice job! That will surely help you do some work!

keep an eye on that rear linkage. Back blades tend to exert a great deal of side loading forces and might bend that all up, so ya may end up applying some 3/8" thick x 2" angle iron to those members. nice execution.

Took some good skills to build. Great job!
