A reconfigurable grading blade attachment for a work machine includes an attachment frame, a pivot beam extending transversely to the frame length, a left stabilizer wheel assembly pivotally coupled to the left portion of the pivot beam, a right stabilizer wheel assembly pivotally coupled to a right portion of the pivot beam, a center mount, a left hydraulic actuator pivotally coupled to the left portion of the pivot beam, a right hydraulic actuator pivotally coupled to the right portion of the pivot beam, and a grading blade extending transversely to the length of the work machine frame. Retraction of the left hydraulic actuator rotates the left stabilizer wheel assembly upwards about the left wheel lift axis. Retraction of the right hydraulic actuator rotates the right stabilizer wheel assembly upwards about the right wheel lift axis.
