    what kind of steel should I reskin a dozer blade with?

    I thnk I erred in using AR200 steel for the dozer blade face of my old D6D. This thing will absolutely not scour. Even after I spent a day with a sander attempting to take the black scale off. I can barely get to the bright stuff underneath. Should I have used just mild steel for this? I am...

    been searching some for a supplier for some ar steel to cover my beat up dozer blade, found one possibility but they say they can't roll anything harder than 1/4" hardox 240. I guess that is much better than mild steel, but I am in the dark as to what I should be looking for and better yet...

    belly pan bolt holes stripped out..

    most of the 3/4" bolt threads that my back belly pan fasten to I have found are ruined. Does anyone know if I can just retap to a 20mm coarse thread bolt and have enough thread depth to torque the bolts? Otherwise I guess I will have to scare up a 49/64 drill bit to tap it to 7/8". I don't...

    Convert S blade to semi U?

    I have a D6D with a straight blade, my freind has one too but the corners have been extended several inches forward with a small moldboard welded in. The end bits are angled probably 20 degrees or so, and the center cutting edge is cut back just enough to allow the bits to fit in. There are...
