HYD angle-rear blade

[DDT]

If anyone is interested. I got a hyd clinder off of my cement mixer and installed it on my 7' rear blade. now I can flip it any direction I need. Got about 20 hours on it and it's still holding good.
Now I jiust can't figure out what color that matches that off breed.

That is brilliant! I take it the notch on the far plate is so the cylinder clears at full extension.
This is a good argument for either putting a third valve when installing T&T, or using Quick Connects on at least one of the cylinders (but which one would you want to give up /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif)
To reverse the blade, do you unbolt the back, rotate the blade, then re-attach the cylinder?

You guessed right about the notch.
I plan on putting on a hyd top link, but when I use this blade I would not have a use for the top link, so I would use the angle clylinder and unhook the top link for tractor.
I figurgured it would be easyer to unbolt two 7/8" x 2" bolts to flip the blade around, which I never done since I have a front blade on the tractor. this way I can back up to garage door, drop both blades (if the snow is deep enough) and pull there drive.
