#40 box blade
 

I got my repo #40 rewelded last week and wire brushed. So I had to lay some paint to stop it from rusting again. I hate to paint but this is better then leaving it bare metal.

The box part of the blade will be IH white and the lifting parts will be black. THe cutting edge will be black as well. The box blades were painted yellow but for what ever reason I thought they should be white. Seeing my is a repo box blade I figured doing it in IH white would be ok. I want to have larger International across the back then the stock decal. I will add one IH logo decal to each side of the blade. I've got some more coats of IH white to spray still. I'm using the rattle cans.

One of the cool things about this blox blade is that the stock lifts up at a angle and this one will lift straight up and on a angle depending on how it's hooked up.

Looking Good Duke!
You been busy!

Finally getting off my lazy cub butt and getting something done!:biggrin2:

That's what I need to do to!

Good job, buddy! :ThumbsUp:

Looks nice Duke! This one of the production run blades that Nash did or you get this one elsewhere? Any pictures of it before painting hooked up to one of the Cubs?

:ThumbsUp:

Mike this one was built before Nashcub did his batch. Here's some older pics of when I had it on my 122 w/Danco. I used it to add some top soil around my pond and it worked great! THe one thing that I liked about it being on the 122 was it looked like a big tractor with the FEL and box blade. I can't have that look on the 125 FEL setup due to needing the IH weight box to help keep the rear on the ground.:bash2: I love the IH weight box tho!

Methos
Nice work on the blade.
Can't wait to see it all painted up with the new decals :biggrin2:

:biggrin2::biggrin2: Need I say more???? LOL

Thanks Diz! I just added another coat of paint. I didn't plan to do this just kinda got the urge to do it and haven't odered decals yet.:bash2: I'm thinking I want larger International across the back then the stock sticker that they use on the tillers and box blades. Thinking about getting some stencils and painting it on and using decals for the sides.:bigthink:

Hush you in the back!:biggrin2:

That is looking sweet!!

Looks great, Duke! :beerchug:

Nice work, Duke. I'm starting to rub off on you :biggrin2:!!!!

Thanks Adam!

Thanks Conner!

Eric it's not half as good as your work! It looks great over the internet tho!:biggrin2:

I got some more painting done on the box blade. I'll put a couple more coats on it to be safe. I couldn't find the stencils with the correct font so I didn't buy any yet, but still looking! Got to go order the side decals still and get those coming in. Once I get the 1200 done I'll reassemble and get some pics with it mounted up on the 1650.

I need a loader! lol

That box blade sounds interesting how you say you can hook it up differently. When its back together can you got a shot of how its hooks up? Looking forward to new painted pics! :beerchug:

Everyone needs a loader!

I'll take pics on how it hooks up and how it changes the position of the box blade once it's hooked up.

I have the johnny bucket jr, its a start!:D

That would be cool. Thanks!:beerchug:

Can't wait to see your pics, Duke. :ThumbsUp:

Sound like Duke is on a roll...Keep us posted!!

A johnny bucket is little start! The higher the lift the bigger start!:biggrin2:

I figured that most would enjoy seeing how it works.


Don't you get cell phone updates of all my work? And you want more pics?:bigthink: Give ya one pic and you want two! Give you 10 and you want 50! Is there no end?:biggrin2:

Trying to keep this roll a going! Got so much more stuff to do!

You know me, buddy! I love pics! :biggrin2:

Greedy bugger!:biggrin2:

I got it done a while ago but finally got it mounted to the 1200. It will end up on the 1650 as the 1200 has to go to a new home now.:beer2: I still need to get decals for it but other then that I'm very happy with how it turned out.:beer2:

Nice job Duke!:beerchug:
Looks good behind the 1200!

Thanks Mike! To bad the 1200 is going down the road.:biggrin2:

Looking good, buddy! :beerchug:

Thanks Allen!

Looks good Duke.

Thanks Todd! No where near yours and Chris quality but I'm happy with it.:beerchug:

Looks great Duke! Kinda like the white, it's amazing how well the box blades work, I leveled a little gavel with mine and it does an awesome job.

Thanks Ben! When I frist got it I wanted to paint it white. The yellow ones look great too! They work so well!

It will still look good on the back of the 1650 too!

Looking good Duke!

:biggrin2:

Thanks Chip! I got to call you and check up on ya!

Hey, Duke, which one of us got the spring assist on the correct side of the frame?

Or does it not matter?? :bigthink:

Duke,
You have your s.a. bracket on correctly! Are you getting the decals made up? Great job on the 1200 and box blade.

I don't think it matter that much. It's only off the thickness of the frame.

Thanks Lew! I've found the side decals but haven't called maple hunter to see if they could make me a larger International for the back side yet.

Hey buddy, I need to put your box blade to work on Saturday! :biggrin2:

Are you sure your not going to be to busy playing with your front blade?:bigthink:
