It's a straight blade and you can see a picture at http://craftm.echoes.net/equiptment Free to good home. I don't want to see something useable go to scrap. I'm in Lake Ariel, PA (zip is 18436). I have a backhoe and can load it if anyone wants it. This post was edited by watson524 at 19:23:50 10/17/09 2 times. [Reply]   [No Email]

Unfortunately, my dad passed away about 2 years ago so I can't ask.   [Reply]   [No Email]

We have a blade that goes on the 3 point that we're keeping that's a Ford. It's currently on our 50 something JD 420 tractor but that tractor will be getting sold (just don't have use for it and don't want it sitting) so I need to learn how to get the bucket off the backhoe (Kubota) and learn to put 3 pt attachments on there.   [Reply]   [No Email]

I think that blade might have been a homebuilt unit but there are also some parts missing.   [Reply]   [No Email]

He ran 3 point stuff on it from time to time, it's just that I don't know how to. Never got the lesson on how to take off the backhoe (the book makes it seem easy but I don't know) and how to operate the PTO properly. We have a 7' bush hog, a york rake, the ford blade and also an AC sickle bar mower I'd like to use on it but just don't know how at this point. Someone suggested I keep the blade since you can always use it but with having the Ford 3pt blade, I just don't see a need for it.   [Reply]   [No Email]
