Hinged Box Blade to pin or not to pin? How\'d Udoit
I've got a thread going about how happy I am with my Box Blade after I reversed my scarifiers to point up in the air and Kioti John brings up a good point. Of you guys that have a hinged back blade how many of you have one that will pin closed or have fabbed it so that you can keep it closed. Of the folks that fabbed it did you just drill the cheeks of the box and insert a pin or did you do something full length like from side to side run a bar all the way across it. Just pins seem like they'd work but I'd hate to kink my blade if somebody has found a better way to keep it closed please reply to this thread before I start drilling holes in my box. BTW I still don't weld so it has to be a mechanical fix like drill holes and insert pins or a full length rod or something. Thanks for reading!
