Product Description
This blade is designed to fit my 'large bulldozer' print. It's the typical 'straight blade', roughly 4 feet high at center, 16 feet wide. There are three guards also one can add to the top of the blade, sold separately.
IMPORTANT!!!!! The assembly is CRITICAL to pay attention to if you want this to operate. If operation is not important, simply glue it all together! First, I would strongly suggest you replace all the smaller pins with brass, styrene or metal rods of some sort. The main cylinder on the left side (driver side) is simply pinned in place. The brace cylinders towards the bottom of the blade, and the one on the right (passenger side) arm, are all ball and socket joints. See the pic in my description images please! The rod with the ball slips into the square piece with the matching hole....THEN the rod glues into the main cylinder body. Do not get glue on the square socket, as you attach it to the appropriate matching square on the blade...which has two tiny tabs on either side that help secure it and give you a glue point. Again, be sure to avoid getting glue into the seam or near the 'ball' itself! Then pin the other end into the mounting bracket. Proper assembly will allow the blade to raise, lower, tilt back and forth, and one end tilt up in the air.
