Sometimes you need to stick a thin Phillips screw driver up the hole after you undo the drain plug . Sediment blocks the hole and stops the flow . Undo it completely , sometimes there is a ball bearing on a seat that gets jammed .

Post a couple of times in the Test thread , after three posts you can start a thread of your own .

This company offers aftermarket dozer blades for excavators. I stumbled upon it recently.

Yeah that thumb idea is better than a stick mounted one I find them so heavy when I have to reach out with a full bucket. The biggest problem I have with the excavators with the dozer blades on them is that very few of them have a "float" mechanism on them. The "angle" blade idea would be nice too as a lot of the mini-excavators are starting to come with it and it could be real handy especially if you do any work during the winter and need to clear the snow before starting to dig.
