Hello AC Dollen, From my experiance when I bought my 720: Came with a Howse Category 1 box blade that the previous owner converted to fit the Cat 0 hitch. He did it by simply using the smaller pins (5/8" I think) and mounting the lower ones in the Cat 1 holes but pointing towards each other (backwards from Cat 1 mounting) this lined up pretty well, and just let the Cat 0 top pin flop around in the larger Cat 1 holes. It did work pretty well. It could have been tightened up some by using some step busings to make up the size difference on the top holes of the blade. My 2 cents, please value accordingly.

First, welcome to our club. You can do a search on Cat-O hitches or 3-point hitches and find several related articles. However, one important thing to remeber is the smaler size is also less weight. These machines are only capble of lifting and moveing just so much. Basic attachments like box blades, rear blades and such come up time to time on e-bay and in out classified's. The price varies depending on who wants it, and who's selling it. But stuff is still avaliable.

Welcome Jerry, Tractor Supply sells a line of light weight blades and rakes that are listed as cat1, with cat0, spaceing. You might look there as well.
