The only thing I would add, is DON'T try working on the cable while the engine is running, shut it down while pulling the cable off the drum, if the clutch grabs, it will drag the cable, and you, back on to the drum.
Thanks guys.
Juiceman, that scraper was donated to Oilslick by 7upuller. Oilslick then donated it to me (ROFLOL).
It really is in great shape. The project I acquired it for is now kind of in question, but dang this thing is handy for grading, shaping, etc etc.
I'll try leaving the blade on, I won't be pushing anyone else. If anything, I can push this scraper with my TD 15.
Thanks guys.

I will try my hand at Deas Dialect; did you really mean you made DONa$HUN to Honest OilSlicks Emporium of slightly well worn ummm I meant well used antiquities???? Wow! This is the season of giving. Maybe I need to up my game and pay it forward in bigger ways. Any suggestions guys?
All kidding aside, that really is a nice looking scraper. I bet you could have plenty of fun with it.
If you leave the blade on the front, it makes it harder to turn corners with that extra weight hanging on the front. Take blade off and pull the selves up and chain it up and leave the cable in the tube and wire tie it at the back end of tractor and then put it up on the side of seat or fuel tank someplace and fasten it to something so it can't fall down. catskinner
I restrung the cable on my 14A dozer this year. The cable pushes down the tube very easily. The 14A has triple sheaves where you have doubles. If the sheaves all turn freely, it's a piece of cake to re-string it. I would drop the blade, it's only 4 bolts to pull the end caps off the trunnions and the pin on the lower sheave and you are free to go. I place a large block of wood under the side arms near the trunnions and back away. That way the blade mounts will be at correct height to re-install.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Hey Tognot,
Remove the blade. Take the cable off the CCU and roll it up, bayle wire it in a nice loop, leave it on the blade.
Cable should be on the scraper already. Thread it to the CCU and wedge it in place. Feel free to call me, 415-720-5936
