Roy 0 Posted April 27, 2007 Do a site search for "grader blade". There are numerous articles on home built blades and hitches including one I posted. Let me know if you are unable to find the articles and I'll see if I can find them for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wminmi 0 Posted April 27, 2007 thanx Roy, had a brain fart or something, posted this question before i did a search sm00 Question for you though, seeing how i read through your bracket build: what thickness steel did you use for the bracket arms? In the pix, it almost looks like 1/2"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roy 0 Posted April 27, 2007 Wm, If you're talking about the hitch you have a good eye. The hitch long arms/sides are 1/2" thick. Think the original hitches were 7/16" but I used available material (e.g. in stock at home). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orangebgood 0 Posted May 10, 2007 Hello. I didn't have much luck finding the plans for the grader blade. I clicked on the link and a message said I needed to use keywords. I would like to build one also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

john-holcomb 0 Posted May 10, 2007 William, Why don't you come up and get that extra 700 I have and you can copy my hitch and blade. I think I even may have some extra parts for one laying around. jw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
