Picked this up this morning

Picked this up this morning. Guy said it was a grader blade for a Wheel Horse so went to go get it and it looks like a good homemade piece. It has a 42" Pacal blade which is pretty heavy. He said that it bolts through the frame in the front and had a cable that went up to the lift arm. Wanted to know if anybody had any idea what this thing is. Is it home made or is it some aftermarket piece. Cause I know this is no Wheel Horse piece!!

I agree with Rick, I have never seen a wheel horse blade like that but it looks very well built. Nice find :notworthy:

Yep your right it is a AC piece!!! Looked on Ebay and found one, item number 200413693042. Thanks a lot guys!! Now comes the decision should I resell it??? Tried to upload the pic but it was a little too big!! :thumbs:

I dont watch the AC stuff, what do they sell for? If its not going to bring enough to buy a Wheel Horse blade I would rebuild it to work on a horse. They are heavy blades and should make a nice grader or you.

The one on eBay has a buy it now of $325. I figure I could get 2 to 2 and a half for it should be enough to get a WH 50"

I have seen wheel horse blades go for as much as $400-$550 for a 50", tho not a cheap investment they work very well.

Definitly an allis chalmers/simplicity mid mount grader blade

had one just like it :notworthy:

Yes it's a A/C or sim grader, they bring about the same money as a WH grader does, a 50" WH grader will set you back about $300+ but cheaper ones are out there, I just picked up a NOS WH 50" grader for $200 but I got lucky, my 2 cents I wouldn't cut it up, try to sell it, you would hate to see a WH grader cut up.

hopefly someone with the money and close by you with an allis or simplicity can get it cause im to far away and after X-mas shoping and looking at bank am lacking funds or else i would honestly jump on it.
