Has anyone here made or seen a good one? My rear mount is just too crude to do a good job of grading my gravel driveway. (front of tractor goes up -- blade digs in gravel, etc). I thought about trying to make one from the front part of a cultivator (but don't have a cultivator, ha) Pictures or links would be helpful.......tx

| Mr. Double "O", think about bolting a pair of wheels behind your rear mount blade. |

I have one that I built for my C you could build a similar on for a WD.
If you look on your final drived there are bolt holse fwd and aft of the Axle nut Cap. that is where the drop brackets for the #3 mower attach. just run push braces fwd from there. make sure you put a swivle in one side. I welded at fixed angle and used pulleys and cabled to lift. I only used a section of grader blade cutting edge for the blade. I'll try to get photos when the weather lets up. we had 2 " of snow today.

I have wanted to do the same thing on my wd45. That would be great for blading the driveway. I know that I'll never get it built because I retired last year and now I will not have time.LOL Dennis

One of these days I'm going to make one for my G. I know how I'm going to do it, just haven't done it yet. Dusty ------------- 917 H, '48 G, '65 D-10 series III "Allis Express" |

Here are pictures of the One on My C
 and the drop brackets on WD45
 The blade works very well for grading the road. I've also used to shape fill in pole buildings.

Dave Richards: I made a setup w/wheels, but it's difficult to get adjusted and difficult to make changes. Had a belly blade on a F**m**l cub once......it worked great........but got rid of the cub.
Dakota Dave: Tks for photos. Looks simple enough (much simpler than trying to hang one from cultivator arms). I'll have to figure out a way to raise/lower it.
Fred: Tks for photo. May incorporate some of that design into whatever I end up building. If I had that rig, would have to park truck outside and put grader inside. ha ha ------------- Why is there never time to do it right the first time, but always time to go back and fix it? |

ACD21man: It's just a brush guard to keep me from getting knocked off tractor while brush hogging. Made from 1-1/4" and 3/4" sch 40 pipe.

| Several years ago I added about 5ft. to the frame of a WD, then made a 10ft. grader blade that hyd. angles to a 45* angle both ways. The hyd pump on the WD is low volume and works great. It also has a wide front. |

I'll try this for posting a photo of my belly mount blade I made for my G. Hope it works! This process is not intuitive to me.
