Grading 74 front blade

[bud4410]

hi, does anyone have a 74 front blade on a 4310 or 4410? this is the full frame blade that mounts at 4 points under the tractor. my question is that i just mounted mine for the first time and the adjustable feet on the back of the blade are not flat on the ground but are tilted back at the top and foward at the bottom. i suspect that the mounting brackets could have been welded to the blade upside down. if anyone has one maybe they can tell me how theirs is. thanks for you time. bud

I have a model 74 for my 4400. The skids do lean at a slight angle, say maybe 5 or 10 degrees. The top of mine are very slightly "forward" of the bottom. I can post a pic if you need one.

hi wayne h, thanks for taking the time to post pics. i had it backwards in my original post. the tops of mine are also forward. i guess they are all that way. looks like if the brackets were reversed they would be straighter. i was able to sraighten mine by putting spacers in the indents at the top of the front of the shafts then securing with the set screws. i have a friend, joe riddebauer, spelling??? a helicopter guy but not RC. thanks again for your help. bud
