Home-Built Grader Blade
 ✖  |
I put together a heavy-built blade using a field disk lift assembly and the grader table off a Caterpillar 212 road grader. I work for a Cat equipment dealer but live in the country. My International M does a good job handling the heavy blade except that it needed better hydraulics. So I equipped the blade with a "live" hydraulic unit driven by pto.
The blade has a geared rotary mounting that's operated hydraulically for infinite, easy adjustment. It works great for snow plowing û I've even helped out on local county roads from time to time û but also works good as a road grader.
To build the unit, I cut off the Cat frame just behind the blade, and then mounted the disk lift wheel assembly under what remained of the frame. I rigged up a hitch on front which also supports the pto-driven hydraulic pump. (Dale Moffett, RR, Cowden, Ill. 62422 ph 217 783-2133)
