Box blade rippers

Found some slotted rippers on E-bay I'll try to post a link.

Thanks. These are also front notched though. Trying to find some rear notched.

Aha! I did some more searching and found rear-notched rippers here. They are slightly different, but looks like they will work fine.

Seems to be rather unusual to have rear notched rippers. Has anyone with a rear notch bb tried just using front notched and putting the drop pin behind instead of in front of the ripper? Seems to me it would work.

Thanks again for the help

I have the rear notched rippers on my Howse BB. You can buy them from Howse (L7): BOX BLADE : Howse Implement Company, Your source for tractor and farm equipment parts and supplies

I'm not sure about using the front notched rippers.

Great source there. Looks similar to my bb. Seems I can't find replacement parts for my off-brand (sunburst) bb, but might be able to use the Howse parts if I need something. Most of the time I just weld/make parts when I need one, but occasionally it's necessary to order new. Thanks again.
