Scrap = subsoiler build

My driveway has 25 year old crappy blacktop in random areas.
I have a bunch of scrap that looks like a three bottom subsoiler for my WD Allis to me :)
Figure to use one tine at first, then all three to rip it up.

Here is an old 2.5" square tube and a grader blade.

Blades to be welded back to back for extra thickness in the shanks

Three shanks welded up - still need the feet, or shoes, or whatever they're called :)

I'll post more when I get it done - maybe an action video :D
