Box blade mod

[600rider]

This won't be too long but I think it's a good mod.
I built this box blade many years ago because to find one like it was very expensive. The rippers rotate hydraulically. After many years of frustrating use because it doesn't angle I watched a YouTube video that a guy made an extension to angle one side. Looked at mine and thought I could do something like that. So being in Coronavirus jail I set out to make the mod. It was quite easy for this bb because I used 2 square tubing for the hitch. I started by cutting of the left side pin. Found a piece of 1.5 square tube that was close to sliding inside the 2" And "worked" it with the grinder until it slid in with ease. Drilled some holes and welded the lift pin to the 1.5 sq tube. It looks like it should work but I have not tried it yet.

That was what I thought when I watched the Youtube video of the guy that gave me the idea.
