Trash day find

[john-holcomb 0]

One of the guy that work for me came in this morning and said he had pulled something out of his girl friends neighbors trash for me. It is a complete 42" Brimly back blade in good shape. How do I adapt that to my Simplicity rear lift, and who has the parts? :D:D Didn't someone just post its amazing what people throw out.??

Dutch had a hitch that was made by Brinly that he put his blade on. Not sure if he had to modify it any way. Probably have to email him for pictures of the hitch.

Here is a link to the Brinly site.

Here are some other links for reference [url]http://www.simpletractors.com/club2/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=32229&SearchTerms=rear[/url] Look at the last post on this link, it is a picture of the rear blade and Brinly arm mounted onto the "factory" sleeve hitch.

John, Here's a link to a drawing with measurements that Dutch made of the newer style sleeve hitch (aka one point hitch) if you want to make your own: http://www.simpletractors.com/club2/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=44264 If you will change the measurement of the width of the hitch to 6.0625" inside to inside it will fit both the older and newer tractor drawbar hitch points just fine. Also change the outside frame of the hitch to 5/16" x 2" and the inside "T" part of the hitch to 3/8" x 2" steel bar. Hope this helps.
