Building a Roll over box blade, But....

[AKwelder]

I have been looking at roll over box blades and want to build one. I just have a couple questions

- Is the pivot point on each side just a solid pin in a section of pipe? or does it have bearings?

- How thick are the side panels?


Thank you for your help

No bearings in mine and the side plates are 3/4" thick where the pivot is. CJ

My Gill rollover is the same. Its very useful and heavy built all over. I found mine used [20+ years ago] and other than replacing the blade edges and a coat of paint , done nothing but work it! I am thinking of welding a receiver type hitch on it to handle trailers.
