I got the box, I don't have time to paint it right now as I have to fix the old box blade first so I will have something to use while painting this one. The other one I have has a bent blade from catching it on a stump that was just under the surface, the angle it mounts to has to be cut out and replaced so I bought this one to use while I repair the other. The end plates aren't worn they appear to be because it is sunk down in the sand in the pic. I will put some more pics of it on the tractor soon, it really works good!!
