ABSTRACT:
A mounting for a slopeboard used to grade soil on an incline is provided near the edge on the backside of a bulldozer blade on an earth moving vehicle. The mounting includes a reinforcing gusset which receives both a connection from a transverse mounting beam secured to the front of a vehicle frame and also a rearwardly and outwardly extending slopeboard support. The slopeboard is mounted about an axis extending from another gusset at the edge of the bulldozer blade rearwardly to an extremity of the slopeboard support. An actuating hinge is connected atop the slopeboard support to accommodate a pressurized fluid actuating cylinder. The slopeboard can be rotated from a vertical orientation to an outwardly extended position below grade, always behind th edge of the bulldozer blade.
