stevasaurus 23,274 #1 Posted November 11, 2009 pulled this blade out of the barn yesterday, and I am wondering if anyone can tell me anything about it. I have not seen one like this on the site. Is it a wheel horse blade? Looked for a serial# but did not see one. It is a 44" blade...17 1/4" high...from drift pin to middle of support bar 50 1/2". Where it would attach to an attach-o-matic...inside 10" outside 12 1/2" Total height is 63 1/2" Blade has 5 positions the frame tubes are 1 7/8" OD> also...would like to fabricate so I could control angle of blade from seat. Any ideas? Looks like it may mount on my Raider 10 (1972)...measured the distance for the attach-o-matic...would work if nothing is in way. thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-Series14 15 #2 Posted November 11, 2009 I am guessing Bolens, I think they had tube framed blades.... Not WH for sure.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

perry 82 #4 Posted November 17, 2009 sure looks like its made to fit a wheel horse with the center chain lift and rear bracket . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whfan74 2,071 #5 Posted November 17, 2009 I agree with Perry.....it sure does look like it could pass for a Wheel Horse blade. Who knows that could have taken an old WH mounting system to a newer WH blade. Looks like we have a mystery on our hands! :notworthy: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-Series14 15 #6 Posted November 18, 2009 I bet a Mt. Dew at next years show that is not a WH blade. :notworthy: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 179 #7 Posted November 18, 2009 It's either home built or another brand that's been modified. It looks like it will fit a Wheel Horse, but it definitely wasn't built by Wheel Horse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whfan74 2,071 #8 Posted November 18, 2009 Yeah you guys are right........probably will fit but definitely not even pieced together from old Wheel Horse parts. If I make it to the show I will still buy you a Dew! :notworthy: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,274 #9 Posted November 18, 2009 I think that blade has been buried in the barn for at least 20 years. So it has to have been made in the 60's, - 80's. It doesn't really look homemade, nor does it look fabricated...I was looking at the welds I think it may fit my RAider 10, because the place where it attaches to the rear axle is about the right demension. About 12"...where the other horses are about 16". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
