Broke weld on lift bracket I welded it back. Would've been a problem for someone who could not weld it themselves

Ok, except for multiple spots where the paint was scratched off.

This is my second Dozer Blade that I have bought for this tractor. The first one is 3 years old and the metal framework is bent beyond use. It was used just for pushing snow. I looked for another option for replacement, but there is none, so I bit the bullet and bought a second blade. I expected to be able to at least start with everything straight and strong. Wrong!! Right out of the box the main support frame that attaches to the tractor is bent. Even worse, it is bent right over one of the bolt holes, so even if you hammer out the bend, the strength of the plate if greatly compromised right where it attaches to the tractor. I tried to find out about warranty, but it doesn’t appear to exist. No great surprise there. Since snow is already falling on the other side of the mountain, and is forecast here, I will apply hammer to steel to get it to fit. When the time comes to replace this tractor and attachments, I will be looking elsewhere, which will be sooner than later.

Appears to be of good quality. Install directions were pretty much spot on. The box it came in was trashed, however, the product itself was in tact. All pieces were there except for 2 of the mounting pins. Easy enough fix by taking 2 shackle bolts, cut them to length and drill 2 holes for the hairclip pins. This blade went onto a Husqvarna 2654 mower.
