Interference issue between tire and grader blade.

[Lt.Mike]

Man, Mike! You are one persistent dude!! Can't believe you tackled that whole thing again! I would have sat at least a day or two pouting!!

I must say that I was very impressed with your welding, fabricating skills, and I felt your pain when you spoke of wrestling the extension on! :big angry:

F.P gave the solution which in all fairness needed to be confirmed and others with the same issue like inairam needed to know along with others left scratching their heads needed to know so I would have been kinda a jerk not to get my ass in gear and turn some wrenches.
F.P, I’ve used my grader blade on my Cub to move a lot of dirt and clear brush. Doing that I never had it angled much if any at all but when plowing snow you’ll find if you can get away with it a straight run at full angle pushing it off to the side is the fastest way to clear the drive.
Thanks again for your help.
Dale, I told you before you should get yourself a small wirefeed welder. I’ve got a Lincoln electric Handypac welder that uses flux core wire. Mig welders weld cleaner but you see you can get by with flux core. I think it’s important to say that though I’ve welded, I’m not going to say I’m a welder.
You can certainly do no worse!
Got to warn you, it can be satisfying and addictive. :mrgreen:
My next project will be fabricating mounts for conventional mushroom style skids that can be bolted to the plow where the factory skids did.
After that I’ll weld up a mount for a front receiver hitch for the SA to make parking my boat in my carport easier. I can’t see what I’m doing when backing it in with my truck and using the SA it’s better but I have to cran my neck to see where it’s going. If I drove it in straight and in full view... now that’s the ticket!

Mike, You inspired me and I will be back at it this weekend. I felt the blade needed to be higher when up and the other set of holes may do it.

Betting they will but like I said with the bigger tires if it still needs a little more room you can have that part I made.

Mike, followed your lead and change the mount to the other set of holes. Everything worked out and got a little more height on the lift plus the clearance.

It’s easy when you finally know what your doing. :lol:
The whole time I was making that part I knew there has to be something to it I wasn’t seeing.
I couldn’t believe the factory would make it like that. Thanks to the new guy we’ve got it right now.
:hattip:
Oh and I’m liking the clearance too. The mount from the pivot pin back will stay on the tractor year round and I use my tractors in the woods.
Didn’t like the thought of that hanger possibly getting hung on a log or stump. No worries now.
