barns1 57 #1 Posted August 25, 2010 Hi All, I recently picked up a grader blade for my collection. Is the Electro 12 tractor a short or long frame tractor, as the gentleman stated he had it on a Electro 12. The instructions that came with the grader blade shows it to be a MB405, for 1967, 607 - 1277 tractors , but I layed it under my C160 and it looks like everything will line up. It looks like the instructions are copied and I can't find any part numbers on the blade to verify. I'm thinking there may be a problem where it mounts up to the mid point tach, like the width may be different. Your thoughts are appreciated as always.

C-Series14 15 #2 Posted August 25, 2010 I believe the Electro was a long. As for the Grader Blade, I did some research and the 7-1111 supercedes to the 7-1113. I think that is a misprint MAYBE on the interchange site because it doesn't show a 7-1113 but does show a 7-1112. The 7-1112 supercedes to the 7-1113 also and in 1973, they show it fitting the 16 Auto which is the same as a C-160. The C-160 uses 7-1114. My Wheel Horse Bible shows a 7-1113 in 1974 but the interchange chart does not... SO, I say the only hope you got is to see if it fits the mid tach-a-matic! I thought the width was all the same in that area but what do I know, I just know the newer stuff, 1974 and newer... I would think with all the views, someone will know something more.

barns1 57 #3 Posted August 25, 2010 C-Series14 Thanks for the info. I'm like you I have 73 and newer and know them fairly well. I did try it when I got home from work and it fits in the mid tach, but I don't know if the lift link bar that the book calls out for the C160 will work. I'll have to take some measurements and see. I need to try and find the lift link which is part number 104357 if anyone knows of one I'd appreciate it. Gary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-Series14 15 #4 Posted August 25, 2010 I have a straight link that I use with the dozer blade which is 11-1/2" center to center and a bent link that is 9-3/4" pin to pin and it has 3" of bend in it. I use it with my rear mount 50" grader blade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
