Re: (ET) Dozer blade return spring

["Christopher Meier" <mr23 mn rr com>]

I took a quick look at mine, and it appears to be within
the blade housing that the 'catch' slides through.   I don't
have time today to look closer, I expect I'll have to at
least dismount the blade from the tractor to look at it
closer.
