[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 11660, member: 307"] Mike I had a 7' meyers that I widened into a 9' I cut the factory push arms off just behine the steel loops on top that the hoses run through. Welded this to a retangular frame made from 2 by 3 box iron. Then I run a brace down and forward from the top center of the rectangle to just behind the side to side pivot . It was rigid and could not float. I ended up putting a 3rd trip spring in the center and flow controls (a must have) on the cylinders. The only trouble I had was that I broke the pivot (pipe the pin goes in) for the “moldboard trip” out of the back of the curved angle iron they run top to bottom. I was back blading at the time, so it could not trip, but it was 1/2 broke out of the angle to. I welded it back in and fixed the other side to. Used it for 3 years, takes about 2 hours to plow my yard before I sold it. The factory skidsteer blades we sell are definitely more heavy duty, but these work fine for personal use.
