HEY OLD {BUILDING MY DOZER BLADE FOR MY WD 45}

JR.Frye · Apr 26, 2010

I thought I would show you some pics on the dozer plow that I have started on: I just"d started on it today and I hope to have it done tomarrow some time;then I am going to work on my weight frame for my hanging weights;Suit case weights.
Right now I dozer blade is just bolted on in place tomarrow I will weld it up and put on two braces and it will be done.Tell me what you think

Blade looks a tad bit on the light side as for the thickness of it. Also how do you keep it from rolling down on the ground??

old · Apr 26, 2010

You need to hang a back blade on that frame and then hang suit case weights on the blade like I do

JR.Frye · Apr 26, 2010

I am not done yet I need to add my bracing
tomarrow from the top of the blade to the loader arm's and as far as being a light blade that blade come off of that drag blade fram it was given to me just to haul off for junk. The blade is 1/4'' thick. I would think it would be heavy enough for pushing snow,durt,rock dont you think.
But that drag blade frame should work to hang my suit case weights on wouldnt you think. If not
I still have iron for the pile.

Well I know my V plow is made from 3/8 and it bent the first time I used it but has not since. I have found pushing one and pulling one are 2 different things

Consider spring-loading the blade so if you hit something solid the blade deflects down. Those loader arms are none too strong (judging by the 50+ years of welds and patchs on mine!) Some home built blade rigs I"ve seen use separate, more robust push arms that run under the tractor and attach to the rear axle housing with a pivot mount and then use the loader arms only to lift the blade. That"d be a lot easier on the loader arms. Good luck!

P.S. Thanks to OLD for offering me (and many others) good advice over the years!

Leave it so can roll under if you hit a solid object and get some heavy springs to hold it up like the snow blades of trucks. I dont think it will hold up to gravel or dirt too well anyway.

The attachment points need to be much lower on the blade.
