Nice to see a 1450 still at work.
Swing it 180..it will float better and not curl in so bad..lotta hook on that blade.A friend gave me an Old 100 lbs. Propane Tank. I decided to use it, and build a Back Blade. I used a drill press, stick welder and a 4.5 inch hand grinder to complete this project. I used the Brinly Moldboard Beam, whereby there are some adjustments to the cutting angle. I also had to reinforce the Sleeve Hitch for strength. There are 30°, 45°, 90° Blade angle adjustments on Horizontal and Vertical plains. So far I have done some trial Soil Leveling which has worked well.View attachment 753548View attachment 753549View attachment 753550View attachment 753551View attachment 753552View attachment 753553View attachment 753554View attachment 753555
Looks very good. One idea would be to put a couple of adjustable height shoes on the back of the blade,so you are not counting on the 3 point holding it at a set height that way the 3 point can be left in float and yet the blade does don't dig in any more than you want it. A square tube in a square tube with holes for adjustment and a round dished shoe works well in both directionsA friend gave me an Old 100 lbs. Propane Tank.

I am impressed. Did not know what to expect while reading the description. You have more blade than traction. Which can be good at times!A friend gave me an Old 100 lbs. Propane Tank.
