Franks,
Thanks a lot for posting the pics. That is exactly how I plan to modify my TG2754. In fact, I ordered all of the components today. I'll post the pics when I finish welding it up and plumb the hydraulics. Thanks again.

Sorry Shaun. I referred to you as a gal in a previous post because or your user name. Sometimes it helps to fill out your profile so we know a bit about the people we rely on for info.
Sounds like you are about to modify your setup into something I'd like to be able to buy from the dealer. I would like to see the results of the work you are about to do. I'm going to ask my dealer about the possibility of tha 54 inch blade with hyd angle. If they are going to make it available in Canada I may wait for one.
Thanks for the pics Frank. It's nice to see up close what you are about to spend your money on. My dealer is a small outfit
and I've never seen one on his lot.

The front blade angle modification on my BX1500 is completed, except for the paint. Check out the pics.

How much extra do you have in it with the hydraulic angle addition.
Looks nice, might be a nice future addition to mine, but CFO won't approve for quite a while I think /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Surfran,
I am not sure I understand your question, but if you want to know how much it cost me to add the hydraulic ram, here's the run down:
$88 for the 2x8x1.5 Chief Hydraulic ram (from surpluscenter.com)
$40 for assorted hydraulic connectors and hoses (from surpluscenter.com)
$40 for (2) Kubota female hydraulic quick connectors (I was told by a technician at surpluscenter.com that I should use the Kubota quick fittings, as the ones they sell may not quite match the male quick connects on my joystick valve, and may leak slightly)
$5 for 2"x3/8"x24" flat steel
about 10 hours of my time cutting, bending, fabricating, and welding
I didn't think this cost was too bad, considering that I was told by Kubota that they will be introducing the TG plow with hydraulic angle next year. The price increase will go from $350 MSRP (without hydraulic angle) to $999 MSRP (w/ Hydraulic angle), so for under $200, I made the modification.
