I figured as much. Offered the suggestion more as information for future readers of this thread.

I'm really enjoying your build. Admire your ability to change the plans when logic dictates.

Looking forward to your design in regards to the hitch tower/assembly.

Here's one of my favorite shop/fab tools: The Fireball Tool Square
A really great video showing all the uses of the squares:

Check these out, they are awesome and will up your fab game. :thumbsup:

Started on the scraper blade attachment, cut to length and cut the bottom corners off

Added some bolt tabs. Ground down the edges to give more penetration of the weld joint

My new Miller 255 pulse MIG makes one heck of a nice bead, and super clean, hardly any spatter at all... nice!

Ground the welds flush on the "inside" where the attachment meets the side plate and drilled some holes.

I had some left over grade 8 bolts with lock nuts that will work perfect for this :thumbsup:

Drilled marker spots with the attachment clamped so I can get the exact hole locations on the side plates.

I'm a bit lost so bear with me.

The bolted on piece is what you will fasten your cutter blade to?

Thanks for the great pics and updates!!!

And that's how you get adjustability!!! Very nice!!!

I am lost on the adjustability.... if you are bolting it on with 2 bolts at each tab, will it just move up / down by using one bolt in the upper or lower holes? Does it not need a “ slot “ in order to slide up or down?

The runners have 2 holes and the frame has 4. 3 height options, or 5 if he uses one bolt.

Ahhhh... I wasn’t paying attention... missed the 4 holes! Definitely a good adjustment range! .....now I feel really stupid...:ashamed:
