Picked up a box blade today, and just curious what it is I got. Can't really make out what's left of any names/labels on it. Been hunting the classifieds for a few years looking for one, and finally found one that fits my tractor and was within budget (which admittedly is much lower than it should be, lol).
Needs some work still, largely due to farmer "fixes" but it's more labor than cost, except the ripper shanks. One is broken, several are bent pretty badly, though I should be able to straighten them out pretty easily. May have replace 2 or 3. I'll also have to come up with a replacement rear scraper blade. Other things are little like fixing pin holes that look like they were opened up to use it on a larger cat hitch, which will be easy enough to turn some bushings on the lathe that I'll weld in.
I am curious about this flat bar that runs between the large round tube, and the ripper tube, that has an inch or two of up/down movement, in that I can't figure out what it's for...has a hook welded to it with a handle that looks like it was mounted somewhere to pivot the bar up.
And these two tabs on the very back, on the outside of the back wall. Looks like something hung off it at some point that could be pivoted up, that's since been broken or cut off. There's one either side, about a foot inboard of the side walls.
