Recommended Posts

I've read several topics on here that discuss it but I did not see one that had any confirmation.

Anyone know for sure?

I am unfamiliar with your tractor and have not seen a D series grader blade (sure do want one though) but I am sure it could be modified to work with a small amount of creativity and work.

If you do not know how to weld consider learning. You can get an easy to use wire feed welder from Harbor Freight for under $100. and there are plenty of resources online to help learn welding.

If the mid mount blade is too much trouble to adapt to your tractor look into a box scraper design to pull behind the tractor. Depending on exactly what your needs are the box scraper may be a better option and easier to build and use.

I cannot find a grader blade for my D-160 so I may begin building a box scraper in the near future. It also makes a great platform for stacking weights for traction in the winter or as balast for my FEL. I cannot go anywhere in my yard without getting stuck if I do not have balast weight on the back. The FEL pulls all the weight forward onto the front spindles and I just spin the rear tires.

Good luck. If you make it work please post back so we can all learn how and be better prepared for this type question in the future.

Night owl I have one for sale in NY for a D series.   And no a D series doesn't fit a 520 without major work

We will be driving up to Herkimer in Mid July. I can check with you then and see if you still have it and how much you want. It would sure come in handy in my back yard but I have spent a lot recently so money is tight.

I have to stop picking up more projects. :)
