Is that blue piece a Sears hitch?
Seems like the geometry between that and the center link is odd?
How is it for lifting?

Looks good, you may want to put a yield slot in your rods going front to the lift linkage, if it's too solid it may bend something.

That blade is a Sears blade so yes, good eye. The geometry there is pretty odd as the center link is a bit long for the Sears stuff but it actually seems to work just fine. I thought I'd have to make a shorter top link just for the Sears stuff but I may not even bother with it unless it causes issues with my other Sears attachments.That's quite a worker!

On the 990's (at least the later ones or the White version that I have) it's slotted where the hydraulic ram hooks up underneath the tractor so it's got several inches of float and I set the length on the lift rods so I can't apply any downpressure, I just add weights to the blade as needed.Looks good, you may want to put a yield slot in your rods going front to the lift linkage, if it's too solid it may bend something.
