We are on shutdown at work this week and I moved getting the Waldon blade mounted on the 1850 to top priority.
It appears to be sprung a little and had been remade and cobbled up some. The curved pieces that hold blade to the frame were gone, so after some measuring, I had new parts cut at work and welded them together and drilled them to fit. Someone had welded in a piece with extra holes where the blade mounts to the frame and they were all broke between the holes, so I welded them shut. I got it together and under the tractor and jacked up into place. Mounting holes didn't match up with holes in tractor frame, so I added a plate to fasten it to.
The long tubes that go back to the rear axle are way off, I am thinking about cutting the cross piece and getting them close to even and welding it back in. Then I will have to remake the brackets that were on it to fit up to the rear axle.
It has the extension on one side to angle the blade on it and I'm wondering how bad it will be to get the huge pin out to put it back straight again.
I'm flying blind here putting this thing on. A local guy has one on a 1950 and I went over to look at how it mounts, but he had taken it off of the tractor. I was surprised that the mounting brackets were of much thinner material than I thought they would be.I'm using heavier steel, so I think it should work. I have seen pictures of them mounted on bigger Olivers but didn't have any dimensions to go by, so I hope this thing works out OK. I have a lot of washouts in my CRP that need attention next spring.
