Hi,
This is a rough sketch of the hydraulic extension arm for the 1A-60 Grader Blade, hereafter called the 'boomerang' or 'whammy bar'.

Can someone please provide the measurements shown in the photo. I have to fabricate one up and would like to get the proper leverage distances.

Hello EZ. I can do it tomorrow after work if that is okay? I can upload photos with a tape measure and give you numbers too.
 
Mike,
That would be great.
Cut a piece of stock for it today.
Only plan on making it a short one for front lift only for now.
Perhaps some day I can find an original.
 
The two you asked for are almost exact. The rest are close approximations

NOTE: The camera angle makes the ruler marks look off by a 1/8 or so.

(#1) 2 inches

Mike,
Can you just wrap that up and send it to Ontario? The Northern part? Ha.

This is a most amazing thing you have done. Above and beyond. I am humbled.
Thank-you.
Take Friday off work.

I was not aware of that slot between the 2 rockshaft hole locations, I will be sure to include it.
 
Mike,
If you are looking in, here is the short bracket fabricated yesterday.
Installed everything today. Nice and tight , need to make some skids.
Worked it for an hour or so pushing melted ice and snow off the drive.
Pushes well, but def need to put my chains on. The other thing that will need getting used to .................The Touch Control action is opposite what the Cub is .
That was fun running into the snowbank and pushing lever forward. It is all good. I like it!

EZ,

I don't know if this will get to you, but if it does could you get me the measurements of the piece you made?
Thanks,
James :thanx:
 
James,
I will try to get the measurements for you later today. They were on the original thread but but Mike must have removed them as he has not posted since Jan 2018.

Would it be possibe to get these pictures

If you are referring to the missing pics above. That post was put up in 2016 and the poster has not been on the forum in over two years. So, chances of getting those pics are somewhere between slim and none.
