Hi there,
I'm thinking of posting my Ford 8' back blade for sale but I don't know much about it. It's been sitting here in our barn (my dad's family's old farm) for many years. I'm 45 and only recall seeing it used once as a kid (assuming it's the same blade). Looks to be all there with pins and all. I moved it where it is now from the front of the barn years ago but used chains on the backhoe to move it vs putting it on the 3 point of our Kubota. At the time, the blade did seem to spin a bit (I think you can change angle, but it's manual as I don't see any hydraulics). Looking straight down from the top, there's one arm that attaches to make a triangle and I think that's how you lock in the angle you want it at.
It's possible that it was used on the same machine as a front plow I have that LOOKS like maybe it hooked to the rear axle (really long arms) and then had some kind of pulley system that maybe went off a 3 point to raise and lower but that's just what I can surmise from looking at it. It's been sitting out behind the barn for ages and I don't have pictures yet. Would also want to sell that one so I figure I'll make another post about that when I get pictures to get some details.
I couldn't figure out how pictures worked here so I have a public folder on the google drive link.
Can anyone tell me more about it?
