I see you have lots of ideas. Perhaps you can help design a box blade for my suburban. Well, I need an idea of what to use for the rippers on the front.

Thanks for the identification I cannot find it anywhere on google. Also is this a rare tractor?

I made my rippers out of 2x4 tubing.:thumbsup: Here's a pic of the finished boxblade.

It is RARE that I see anything that says Wizard... but I'm sure there are a few still around, I was looking to see some others pop up in your post... I've got an old Wizard tiller, the one with a VERY heavy cast iron body... has not been used since the 60's.
& it looks like bakerg has made a nice light duty BB with scarifiers...

Very nice... should be handy for light work:thumbsup:

I may try to duplicate that ripper unless I use something solid. what is the height of the blade, and what model tractor pulls that?

Well I went for a ride and this thing hauls @$$. It must go 12 in 3rd. I don't think the pulley has been changed. 1st and 2nd aren't that fast but third. I guess back then they needed to mow quick:biggrin:

WoW ... I don't think the top gear was intended to mow in... might be good to get from one place to the next, quickly:biggrin: ...

How well is the mower deck running?.. :smile:KennyV

BB is 60"wide and 24" high. use my GC2400 Massey to pull it.:biggrin:

Thank you for those specs. Also nice tractor. I may scale that by half 30" by 1'. I have never used a box blade. I would like some opinions on how big of a box blade to make for the sears suburban, I do have 55 lb. wheel weights. But how wide is too wide??:confused3:

Well the mower deck she runs good. Just needs some grease but haven't gotten there yet. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to engage the blades, but I finally got it. All it takes is lowering the deck and it puts tension on the belt. I guess I'm just used to a blade clutch lever.
