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.

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

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.
