BX24 3pt Hitch and older implements

[RayCo]

I've heard conflicting reports about the 3pt hitch on the BX tractors, some of which said that whatever was true was no longer the case on the BX24. What I'm wondering there's an old (1960s) category 1 grader blade down the road from my house, and I believe that the house is owned by a widow. I was considering going and seeing if I could buy it from her, but before doing so, would something like this fit on my BX24? Is the spacing the same in 2007 as it was in the 60s? If the pin sizes have changed, that's not a big deal. I could drive my tractor to her house to test it out if she's into the idea of getting rid of it, reckon. Maybe she'll throw in the old Ford tractor and the tow truck while she's at it.

Ray,
I would think it would be the same size. I bought an old howard rotovater at a sale about a year ago, and it fits fine. On a side note, I saw in the Philly craigslist a used woods rb5 rear blade in Chalfont for 250.00. Not sure if it's still for sale or not, but it sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
