Box Blade size

Here is a picture of my 6' "HEAVY" boxblade that my dad built. It is plenty for my 8N. I do like the fact that it is wider than the wheel base. It was patterned after the IMCO brand blade, but he built it extra heavy. You could maybe get by with 7', but it would probably be pushing the N's power limit. Catagory 1 simply is the 3/4" lift pin size equipment.

Thanks, he built this in the late 60s,early 70s. He graded and seeded lawns for several contractors in the area and wanted a blade wide enough to skin up against foundations. That would eliminate a lot of hand shoveling. He built this so it would be wider than his 800 series tractors and have one more ripper tooth in it than the IMCO. That old man was a tractor driver deluxe, and I miss him dearly. He kept me busy thinking up welding projects for him. He built me a three point carrier, a boom pole, a harrow drag and a three point two roll barb wire
unwinder with fence stretching hooks attached. We also modified the tractor bumpers to attach tow bars for short transport.

You want to match the size of the pins and the holes. The hole size on the top link should match the implement, and the pin size on the implement should match the 3 point hitch. If memory serves me correctly, they are 3/4" holes and pins.
