I'm trying to reverse the angle of my boxblade (to clarify, I can lower the right turnbuckle to adjust blade tilt). It seems logical that I should be able to switch the turnbuckle from the rightside to the left and be able to tilt the blade to the other side. However, the left (fixed linkage, not adjustable) does not have the correct angle to fit on the right side. The right side fits on the left because it is adjustable as a function of being a turnbuckle.
What am I missing??? I've scratched a new bald spot on the top of my head trying to figure this one out....

I think that's the nature of the beast for the most part. Often it's necessary to buy a different arm for some tractors to be able to that, just as in adding hydraulic top and tilt units.
Usually, the left hitch arm has some extra holes for positioning the drop/height of that arm and are configured differently than the right.
Maybe you could get one fabricated that has a crank to do what you want. I had never really thought much about it.

If you retract the the link, it should tilt the blade the other way. About mid way on the adjustable link should be level.
