I was at an auction the other day and picked one of these up for a mere $20.00. The thing is in three pieces and I am not sure if it is complete. I saw your post in the archives that briefly described this implement and mounting. If I may I would like your comments on what I have if I am missing any thing obvious and other general comments.The main piece has the "blade" and spikes. Attached to either side of that are arms with springs. The arms have two attach positions on them one is a transverse (side to side) bushing about 30mm long. The other is a clevis that looks like where the other two pieces attach. The other two pieces are left and right matching pairs. They consist of a long bar attached to a small piston. It looks like this bar attaches to the above clevis. On the other side of the piston is a triangular arrangement that has a 30mm transverse bushing and the other corner has a hole. Based on your mounting description. I think that the hole goes on the 3-point lift arm. The bushing is attached to the sway bar attach point. Or I am just thinking.... Does the bushing directly attach to the yoke of rotating lift arms? taking the place of the mid-link (i.e. the fixed and adjustable like). If this is the case I am not sure where this hole attaches. I am also not sure where the front arms attach to the front on the tractor. Your previous post states that it attaches to one of the three bolts that hold the front axle on. I presume it is one of the three axial bolts behind the radiator not the front axle bolts that sets the width. I did not understand why you would remove two of the bolts. Is there a mounting bracket required? One final question. What locks the "bucket"? The only thing that keeps the "Bucket" from rotating are the two garage door springs. I just hope I am not missing too many pieces.
