Push blade measurements - wideframe

[mpatterson]

Anyone able to give the width of the back end of the push blade sub- frame for a wide frame? I want to take the blade from my 100 and put it onto my 782. I got a sub-frame off a wide frame, but it doesn't have the back brace welded between the arms like one in picture. I think this is allowing it to flex too much? Had a few issues with it actually unhooking from front of tractor. So do not think it is sitting square? It seems to want to hit the mower lift arms underneath as well because it seems to be out of alignment when sitting on the shaft for floor boards. Want to square it up and make it right before attempting to use it again.

We do not see a picture? does it look like this? This is from the 190 316 blade mounting kit which will not work on a 782. Pretty sure the 316 is the only model with that brace.

Not sure why pictures didn't attach?

Anyways, now that at garage, this is the one I got to fit my 782.

Nope, mine attached now. Similar but not the same.

Blade, 42".. and lift rod bracket (the extended version so lif rod will get to it). I figured the blades would have been the same except for the sub frames? Or did they actually have longer lift rod brackets when using on a wide frame?

Yes the NF and WF are different by the length.

Are these supposed to be at 90*? This is the frame for blade. I have to remove and resend them as the right side is over 1/8" lower and blade doesn't sit level when set down on drive. Have to rebuild the shoes too as they are wearing out and one the threaded bolt is no more, so won't hold height adjustment

For pushing snow, I found that one of these is easier and better than fussing with blade shoes:

Best wishes for getting the blade frame squared up & level!

First one is a narrow frame, nos. slight angle.
The second is a wide frame, nos no angle. The height of the bracket from the top of the frame is 4 1/8"

Any chance you can measure the size of that pin?

The part that sticks out is 1 1/2" pin is 1/2" in dia. The bracket as you can see is 90 degrees.

Thank you Lewis, appreciate it.
