149 tractor vs 782 front blade
 

Blades are hard to come by around here... What modifications can be done to put a blade from a 782 onto my 149 tractor?

We put a 1450 blade (same as 149) on a 682 with no modifications except a different lift bar since the 682 lift bar is bigger. You'll have to change the bracket on the blade that the lift bar attaches to and get a different lift bar, but that should be it as far as I know. If that's not it, someone will chime in :biggrin2:

I used the blade from my 782 on my 129. Instead of a lift bar, I went to the local hardware store and bought a length of chain to use in place of a rod.

Here is a short vid of me using it: http://s210.photobucket.com/albums/b...t=MOV01814.mp4

Duh!!! Not a 149! A 147!!! Narrow frame. I'm sorry. I teach music and football season makes my brain really dumb to anything but marching band at the moment!!!


What modifications if it can even be done for a narrow frame?

You will need a NF subframe to make it fit.

If I had a sub frame from like a 127 parts tractor? Would that connect okay to the blade?

That would do the trick.

I'm just being cautious but I wouldn't think just the little subframe would be the only difference.

A little investigating in our technical libraries can answer a lot of questions...:beerchug:

Thank you!!!

I can't do much investigating at the moment... My house was broken into a month ago and I still don't have a replacement computer yet! :(. It's only earthly "things" that were taken so I'm okay with it... We now have a security system! But my evening surfing/investigating is very limited on an iPhone... Not to mention it makes my eyes go crazy! Lol. Thanks a bunch! I hope to be up and running in no time. :$
