Question for D series owners that have an original large dozer blade -
I have , what I believe is a model 6-1141 blade that has been pretty sadly abused . Whole frame was bent up pretty good and about have that done , making a whole new nose piece to replace the repaired (badly, many times) one now .
The original lift link with spring is missing and a solid welded tab is in it's place . I'd like to reproduce the original style but wonder how well it actually works due to the weight of the blade - and also whether or not it affects being able to use down pressure .
If this link actually works well and helps the blade to float a little , I"ll make one - which begs the question , does anyone have one that I can get a few dimensions from ??
