Box Scraper What kind of box blade is this thing?!?

You guys have been very helpful so far and thanks for the welcome.

I'm sitting here salivating over those pictures. We've got a 4' box blade that bounces around most of the time so, I/we've strapped some fairly large rocks/boulders on top of them to give it some bite.

I'd love to toss something that looks as heavy as that behind the tractor and smooooooooooooth things out!

I will clean it up/repaint and it will look real nice. I cant believe how heavy duty it is, some of the bracing is over 3/4 the side walls are only 3/8 which I though was a little weird. Ill weigh it sometime but Im guessing 1000-1200 lbs, hoping to smooth some stuff out here soon!

Also the rear blade floats but doesnt seem to lock down ? Would it be a good idea just to weld it shut ?

Let me know your thoughts on this thing.

No, not a good idea to weld it shut.

Does it have holes anywhere that line up like my Cammond?

Yours is unique, someone should recognize it.

That is so HD that I just wonder if it is not a dozer blade.

Xfaxman, I will have to check again but I知 pretty sure there are no bolt holes to lock it
