WTB Dozer blade for Muskeg tractor

[DynatracGuy]

I need blade and side "arms" for a 70's Muskeg tractor. It is a wide track version with double D tracks. Even pictures would help, I can make it from scratch if necessary. So far the only thing I have to go on is sales brochure showing the optional blade. The attachment points on the outer boggie support frames are there. I can implement the hydraulics myself.

All Muskegs have a double row of wheels.

Thanks for the info. I've been too busy with other things to devote enough time to these wonderful vehicles.

a factory leon blade fits on very easy and pushes off the frame it also doesn make your machine any wider , wich is a big bonus in the bush . we used one a few years ago with a original blade and found the side arms a real disadvantage in the deep stuff .

Thanks for all the feedback. I can see why a front mount is better than the original side arm design. I have the factory pto driven winch on front of my Muskeg. I think I will temporarily remove the winch and use the frame for it to mount blade. I have a half decent shop and will make it myself. A 12volt hydraulic power pack and a cylinder will supply the lift. I'll share the design after I verify that it works properly. Won't be this winter, I have to live within my budget. I have a Ranger V with 6' blade for snow clearing this winter.

Let me know what you decide. Pictures would be great.

Darn, it would interfere with the front which mount. I'd have to cut it off, not something I want to do. I guess I'll have to use a mount similiar to mount used on pickups for snow plows. Thanks anyhow, I'll bet someone will buy the whole setup pretty quickly with all the snow.
