Heavy Duty Box Scraper Bent, Fixable?

DasSven · Apr 16, 2017

Hello all. Great forum. This is my first post.

I have a JD 210LE. I absolutely love it for scraping the property. While helping a buddy, I attempted to remove a large tree stump whereby I was using that box to push and pull the stump before I grabbed it with the 4in1 and pulled it out. BAD IDEA. I broke the weld at the leading edge of the scraper. There's a smoothing plate between the front blade and the rear blade and it's bent downward and extends about 3 inches down at the worst part. Sorry if I'm getting the parts wrong, I'm new. I believe all of these blades are replaceable. My main concern is what I believe is called the moldboard. It's the large concave piece of steel that guides the dirt upward. That piece is also bent slightly.

If I replaced the blade(s) will this bent moldboard be an issue?

This is a Cameco 284 Box Scraper / Gannon. Reallying hoping this is fixable.

Thanks everyone.

It looks to me like the piece of metal behind the cutting edge is bent. I'd straighten it out, weld in reinforcements and call it done

I agree with 4570Man. Straighten things out, weld things back together, add reinforcements. By the time you search, find, price & receive replacement parts the summer will be half over. Besides - replacement parts aren't going to fit so well while the basic implement is bent.

By the way - Welcome to TBN and the forum.

If you don't have the equipment to heat and straighten the heavy metal, contact a local welding shop . I bent my bucket on the loader and a local welding shop repaired it to "new" quality at a reasonable cost.
