Do you want the blade that mounts to the mid Tachmatic Pulled) as in Gary's posting or the style that uses a hitch on the rear axle (like snow plows use) pushed.

 

Either way I am not a fan of mid mount blades on hydros.  I had it on a a hydro and took it off went with a manual lift,  it is much easier to do fine work with the manual as you can feel and make instant adjustments to down pressure.  With a hydro it was much harder for me to get a nice finished job.

Here are a few pictures of my mid-mount blade. If there is something in particular you'd like to see let me know.

Same thing with the front blade!  For fine finish work you can't beat the feel a manual lift gives you!

My AC has a heavy mid-mount grader. I often push the grader down with foot / leg power! Nice attachment, the blade is 1/2" thick!

The B-10 I upped to a 16hp. The B-10 is now on four ag donuts. The blue deck in the image is my Pennsylvania Panzer.

 

I have a spare 42" dozer blade, complete, that I don't use. Thinking of cutting the frame and blade, fab a mid-mount?

But then, the snow blade is only 16 (maybe 14) gauge CRS. Not beefy enough.

 

Think the mid-mount is best. Leg 'push' power is good. :handgestures-thumbupright:

I had both types and sold the one that attaches to the rear axle because it tended to dig in too much. The mid mount is best for controlling your cut and I do not use a solid link when it is on a hydro, a chain will keep it from digging in. A landscape rake behind helps to finish the job (mine is home made).

I have a mid-mount grader for my WH Model 1-7235 Charge Electro 12. If you will tell me what measurements you are looking for, I will drag the thing out of my shop loft, take measurements and send you some pictures.

      GMorning Gang,
             Last year I had purchased an old C175 with blown engine and all the attachments the owner had with it, including the FEL.  He gave me everything he had, or thought he had.  It was quite a pile, requiring 2 trips.  Of course, in the heat of the moment, it appeared everything was there, except belts for the most part.  He even had most of the original documentation.  Now I know what your thinking, and you'd be correct...... everything was Not there. And as we all know, it's the little things that hold up the project AND seem to cost the most money.... mot to mention the heartache.  But, I did find an engine, got the tiller installed and working, the plow mounted, the deck running.  Now for the Big hit..... The FEL.  I do seem to have most of it.... The bucket and arms assembly, lower frame, weight box. weights, chains and even the pump , with brackets that was still mounted to the blown engine.  The show stopper here is what is called the "Front Mount Assembly".  It mounts to the front of the frame, and the stabilizer arms to the posts attach to it.  It also has a couple of hose brackets that hold the hydraulic hoses from flopping around.  I did look around, and none appear to be available...Big Giant Surprise.  I can't imagine anyone parting it out, even IF they knew what it was.   But I pretend to be a welder and have Fab skills,
      (Sorry, that should have read Fab Equipment), So I'm sure I could Hack one together if I had measurements.  The grainy B&W photo in the manuals make it look very simple (Hahahahahaahahahah).....Anyways, is there anyone that would be willing to take a couple color shots And Measurements of their "Front Mount Assembly"?
      Or rough estimates, then I can Make up something clos, and tweak it after its installed.
       
      It appears to be the Ark style Loader, with the catalog number of 97-40FL-01.   The actual part number of the bracket is: WheelHorse 260932 (part #36 in the pix)
       
      Again, it looks like it attaches to the front of both Frame rails and loops around the front.  It attaches with 4) 3/8" bolts and would have the hoses attached to it.  It looks like it loops close to the front of the frame, meaning the mule drive would have to be removed, maybe even the Attach-A-Matic front bracket too.  And its job is to give the Brace Arms a place to attach to.
       
      Wish I had more info to give,  
      Can anybody help me out?
       
      Thanx in advance,  Have a Great weekend
      Jay

      Ok folks first of for those who have helped me "THANK YOU", But here we go again. I inherited my father's C-145A and I have apiece of equipment I need to Identify. It does have a Wheel Horse sticker on the rear left side while facing the rear. Looking for what it is, model, what it's used for, how it's used and any manual someone might have for it. Don't think I would ever use it, might restore it back to the Wheel Horse red( provided it was red originally) which is a good question, what was it originally. Please see the photos. Does this piece look complete? I think it is a disc but I'm not sure. Thanks again!!!!!!!!

      I gave my 12 up case hydrostatic  to a friend. He bought a case 48" snowthrower. I was wondering where I could find a  manual for the snowthrower and the tractor. He needs to know what kind and how long of belt he needs for the snowthrower.

      Good morning Wheel Horse experts!
       
      I have a gentleman that is interested in purchasing my 312-8 because the hydro rear end went in his 70's vintage charger 12. He'd like to be able to use the existing attachments he has with the 312 and asked me if I knew if they were compatible. I did a little searching and couldn't find a clear answer so I thought I'd defer to you guys. Will he be able to use his charger 12 attachments with a 3 series tractor(mower deck, plow blade, etc.)? Or are they not compatible. I know c series attachments are compatible but not so sure about the charger tractors. Thanks!
