Shortly after getting our land/tractor, the box blade broke and sat in the field for a few years. I just bought a different one and used it instead. One of my first projects was repairing it, but the repair lasted less than a year. Over Thanksgiving break I decided to take it down and rebuild it right. I took off the 3"x1/2" steel it had and went back with 4"x3/4". I haven't really put it to use yet, but hopefully it holds up better.

I think I would add some gussets to the attachment point on the blade. That material is not very thick and not a whole lot of weld onto the steel bar. A 4" triangle gusset on the inside of each bar would insure a firm attachment that wont likely break.
I am also a bit curious about the pipe riser on each side of the blade.
