Well this project took me quite a while to get finished. I played around with my welder on scrap steel to get enough confidence to take it to my box blade. I did make a few mistakes and learned very quickly that making mistakes with 1/2" steel is NOT fun.
Many hours of grinding ensued. The finished product is not quite as neat as I think I could probably achieve now after having learned a LOT about welding just on this project.
That said - it is done and now I have the option of fixing my rear blade or having it float.
I am using two 7/8" pins and the blade does not move more than a couple of mm.
I've posted a photograph for anyone interested.
