Ford Dozer blade need axle bracket

[FiremanKyle]

I've got the Ford front blade, Dozer style
(Dad got in the 80's with the tractor, the
blade was never installed on the tractor
in his time, and had since passed). I
happened to watch a video of this type
install, and now realize I'm missing both
brackets that are mounted under the
fender. I'm also missing the bar for the
three point. If anyone has dimensions I'm
willing to get these parts fabricated for
next years plowing. Unless someone knows
where there might be some parts around
that would work too.

Thanks for your help,
Kyle

I no longer have mine so cannot help with dimensions. But that bar for lifting can be just a straight piece of round stock or even a piece of pipe. Just so it goes thru the hols in the lift arms, it rides on top of the3 point arms. The orignal had a pair of curves in but made problems, we had to take a string and tie the curve up to keep it out of the way. Had one from 1950 to up to 4 years ago when I lost the remaining part of the farm. And those blades were identical except paint from Ford or Fergusom We had the red version, 2 neighbors had the grey version.

Those brackets are hard to find and hard to build.
I made a pair, must be 20 years ago now.
There are pins on the main frame that just slide into a slot on them and you use an ordinary lynch pin to hold them in place. Real quick and easy to mount the frame.
They also had a hook on each side to hook a short chain to. The chains and hooks allowed you to keep the front plow raised and still use the three point for something else.
It took me most of a day to build the first one and half a day to make the second.
If you weren't concerned about originality it would be easy enough to make simple brackets for under the axles and modify the original frame to bolt or pin on.
The first snow plow I had for my 2N I built the whole thing and made real simple brackets back there and used hardened bolts to attach the push frame. Real simple.

Those Ford snow plows will turn your tractor into a Very effective little snow mover. You will need rear weights and chains though.

I am still running an original Ford snow plow.
Different tractor and different model plow but with chains and weights it is a very effective tool.

Back in 2018 I had sent the dimensions to a guy by the name of Tim. He had a set made and his fabricator was willing to make more sets if someone else needed them. Heres his email [email protected] Dont know if still active but worth a shot.

Why wouldn't the loader brackets that are hanging unused under the axles of hundreds of X00 tractors work?
