Grader blade for bucket cutting edge?

admin

I've read some of the bucket cutting edge replacement projects and was wondering if anyone has used an old grader blade for a replacement cutting edge.  My question is how do you handle the curve in grader blade.  Also would you put the cleaner bolted edge in front? Thanks.

Reply:You're probably right.  Just wondering if anyone had done it.
Reply:I was wondering the same thing...I have 10-12 used grader blades with minimal to heavy wear...and a backhoe that is in dire need of a replacement...hmm free or spend money on the right one the first time around?
Reply:I've only found one thing that used grader blades are good for.......scrap.  I have a farmer friend that had an entire pusher blade for his tractor made out of old grader blades.  I got tired of fixing it so I built him a new one and just charged him for the steel.  Fooker traded it off shortly after that.  He did the same thing with a trailer I built for him, same deal, steel only.  I now bill him for everything.  And sold him my old trailer to replace the one he traded.My name's not Jim....
