I need a picture of one . What kind of linkage is used to support the blade from the push arms. One side has a turnbuckle the other side is ridgid. Which side is correct?

John, my OC-12 is over at my cousin's now, but when I get it back - or get over there with a camera - I will take some pictures for you.

There are different blades for the OC-12: a grader blade which angles and is lower, and a bulldozer blade which is higher and does not angle. My blade is about 3 foot high. The bulldozer blade does tilt via the turnbuckel.

After the plant closed, he and my uncle started an excavating business, initially using Cletrac and Oliver Crawler tractors.
