Wheel horse snow blade

Recommended Posts

dandan111

Thinking about winter and I know my blade for my 314-8 is bent and twisted. I have washer

fluid in my tires and wheel weights. Any thoughts on a new blade? I have straighted mine a

few times over the years and it bends easier every time. 

I bought my blade new so it's not rusty or anything, just bent. Any opinions on installing

a new berco blade on my wheel horse plow frame?

I could also check into having one made at the weld shop or having them beef up mine.

ideas?

I could go that route but suspect it will bend as the one I have has.

As far as reinforcement would you add another square tube?

What are you hitting that has your blade all bent up? I can't recall ever bending a dozer blade.

But either way, I would get a good welding shop to reinforce the one you have.

Plowing sidewalks in town. Long runs. The way it's twisted looks like

stress I guess. We don't get a lot of snow but what we get is usually wet

and heavy anymore.

after getting it straightened you could use angle iron on it, put the v down on the tube and have it stitch welded along both sides, this could be done on all 4 sides of the tube

After straightening, like bengi756 above,have it reinforced with angle iron like this might be a bit hard to see but after I widened a 42" to 50" I used the angle iron to keep it from flexing,Jeff.IMAG2089.jpg

I found a Gravely blade. Cut 6 - 8" off top of it. Took necessary hardware off WH blade and welded it to Gravely. So I use WH frame and pivot.

 

I think it's 1/4" rolled steel. Very heavy. The tractor or plow frame will break before the blade bends.
