Hi
 
I've brought a BDH with a british made bulldozer blade (Bray) it nearly 9ft wide and angles. I brought it for the running gear for my BD as the track rollers etc were very good on it, I'm plannig to put the blade on my BD and possibly convert the BD to a BDH I have all the parts I think, as far as I can see its the spring hangers the final drive shafts and the shafts the tracks pivot on that need to be changed.  Am I also right in thinking the final drive housing will need to be changed, if so will the outer part  (where the shaft goes to the sprocket) from the BDH with the older style casing (1940's) without the screws to help split it fit my later type (1951) backend? Also it seems a rather large blade for the size of the tractor, anyone got thoughts on that?
I live in England, got interested in Cletrac's when I brought an Oliver BD in 2001, I now have an Oliver BD a Cletrac BDH and another BDH for parts and have just brought a 1919 model H. I also have a british built Track Marshall 90.  Always keen to hear from fellow collectors.
