Jesse: Go for scotty's photos, the modifications he has made strenghten the whole setup. My blade is not factory, however until I braced it from the final drives, I was always breaking or bending blade frame. The one that bothered me the most was torque tube. My blade, like the factory blade was braced to the torque tube. One day plowing snow ground froze hard, blade hooked a rock frozen in soil. It sheared the 5/8" bolts fastening blade brace to torque tube. It hit hard enough one set of threads in torque tube will no longer hold a bolt I was in low gear but did have heavy corked ice chains on tractor.
My blade has been modified so it attaches to tractor in 4 places thus spreading out shock load on castings. It hooks to each final drive, with a cross member right under clutch housing, with that cross member bolted to clutch housing, then frame extends on to cultivtor mount just behind front axle. This is a one piece sub frame with blade push arms hinged on the bottom side, just ahead of clutch housing. It looks a wee bit like a bulldozer, but I'll guarentee no one will break blade or tractor. If he does, his ribs will be inverted and shape of steering wheel. Hard frozen ground is a fact of life up here, spring trips just don't cut it.
