You will not regret it.

I made wings for the back blade to make it a box blade. The wings are 1/8" plate, with angle iron on sides for skids. Skid bottom is the same level with blade bottom. I have pic's stored on this site in my album. The box bolts onto the backblade top and bottom of blade. 2" steel tube for a...

I use a BX23 with a front plow blade in Central Oregon and never even used chains. The only time there was an issue is when the snow was 3ft deep and the tractor was high centered and lost traction.

I just finished this 3 in 1 attachment. Just put wings on the sraper blade and you have both.

If anyone has such a problem in the Central Oregon area (Bend Or.), contact me, and bring it to me. I do welding fab for a hobby. Journeman Millwright. Its like the last guy said: it is a 'dimes' worth of work to fix. 7018 is wonderful stuff for structural welding.

I built a 6' blade and mounted it on my BX23. It mounts to the bucket, angles each direction. It is used for winter snow removal. Works like a wonder. Chains never needed. 95% dry snow here in Bend, Or. Once had to plow 5" of wet and it was sticking to the blade. Tractor handles the blade well...

I finally got some more pic's. Had to wait out the wind/snow/rain the last few days. Hope these help.

I do have skids both sides. They are set so that the cutting bar is 1/4" below the skid surface. No more adjustment is necessary. In the picture you can see the top angle bracket. The bottom brackets are the same using the outer holes in the cutting bar. I used 1/2" bolts. I have used this...

Check out my site album for a picture of the mod you want. Only takes a couple square ft. of 1/8" sheet metal plus one crossbar, four bolts, four angle brackets, and 2 holes drilled in the top corners of the existing blade. Remove the two outside bolts on the back blade for lower mount of box...

Mine has broken three times now. My first fix was to reweld broken places. Lasted 25 hours, 2nd fix with thicker base plate.Lasted 32 hours. 3rd fix another layer on base plate. Still working. What causes this is when engine is at idle, there is a lot more vibration on the filter housing. I try...

Get a decent back blade, then attach 1/8" plates to each end of the blade with bolts top and bottom of blade. Put in a reinforcing pipe between plates. Can be put on/off in minutes. You have both blade and box blade. Each have their uses. I have used this system for years on my BX23. For more...

I have a BX23TLB and it has the silver grill guard. It was bolted on to the frame with 12mm bolts. +or-. They were close enough in diameter holes to tap 5/8" threads into them. Then screw in 5/8 bolts from the back side so that the threads are outside. Make sure the bolt is long enough for the...

Sorry for not responding sooner. Never had a message before on this site. This is the first. Jeep is a 1952 M38. Tractor is a BX23. I do a lot of mod's on it to make it better. I am a construction millwright and like to make things.

Check out my pictures for a system I use. With the bucket bracket any hitch stinger can be inserted with ball, shackles, chain hooks, etc. All is added to bucket is picking eyes on each end of bucket. They allow all kinds of items to be used.

I did a Bing search for pictures of a thumb and started designing a type that looked like it was simple and workable. Your bx25 has a more curved hoe arm than my bx23, which are more straight. I used two pieces of 1/4 plate that cinch up on the hoe frame. It can be moved up or down depending on...
