gunna build me a scrapper blade out of scrap pipe and plate i picked up off the bottom of the gulf of mexico during a site clearance operation. What i need to know is what are the measurments between the lower link arms, and upper link arm? You wouldn't believe whats been thrown off/blown up against a platform thats been here for 20+ years. thanks
 
I guess you're not pushing snow with it... Assuming you're grading, think about putting some wheels on the back. Makes smooth grading much faster.

I've got what I was told was a '53 Ford frame turned backwards with a large water tank mounted under it. Steel wheels about 12" wide. Found it under honeysuckle when I bought everything back there for $5 at auction. Has bolt slots to slope the tank blade either way. Works amazingly well with the 3 pt drawbar.

Since replaced by a pull-behind 4 wheel Galion grader, and now a motorgrader. My blade doesn't see the tractor much.
 
I would measure up the tractor that you are going to use it on. Level the bottom links and the hold the top link level and measure in between. If this dimension is not correct the implement will change angle as you raise it. I built a 3-point draw bar with a top link bracket and I didn't make it quite tall enough, and it doesn't stay level. A cat 1 should be about 25 inches between the flanges and the top link bracket should be 12-15 inches above, I think. Find an implement that lifts well and copy it!
