I just received a free 54" 4-way hydraulic dozer blade. Had to brag! lol. Its been sitting for quite some time, so the cylinder rods have some rust. I have heard that they clean up well with emery cloth, so thats what I have been doing. Some pitting, but cleaning up nice. Anyone had experience with this? Also the cutting edge is gone, and what looks like the piece that the cutting edge should bolt to is very worn. Ill probably cut that off, weld on a new one and then bolt on a new cutting edge. This brings me to a couple of questions, does anyone have some pictures of what they should look like? And does JD still sell new cutting edges or should I make my own? paint is not bad and the quick couplers work good. and the hydraulic hoses had covers on the ends which was nice. Hey, cant beat free!
