Introduction
This Special Instruction provides the procedure to make the dozer blade taller. The addition of spill plates will permit larger blade loads and reduce the amount of material spilling over the top of the blade.
Fabrication of Plates
NOTE: Use 8 mm (.31") thick, high strength structural steel for the extension plate and the gussets.
Fabricate the extension plate above using the dimensions shown.
Fabricate the gussets as shown in the illustrations included in this instruction.
Gusset and Extension Plate Locations
Installation of Plates
1. Tack weld the extension to the top of the moldboard with the chamfered edge forward.
2. Space gussets every 245 mm (9.65") from the centerline of the extension plate.
3. Tack weld gussets behind the extension.
4. Finish weld gussets using 7 mm (.28") fillet welds.
5. Finish weld front of moldboard using 7 mm (.28") fillet welds and grind weld smooth.
