Hallas 0 #1 Posted January 8, 2010 I had a new cutting edge put on the truck at work, and took the old blade home for the GT 1142. Someone had welded a blade on that was worn to hell. Drilled new holes and bolted it together. 5/8" thick, dontcha know! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jdwheelhorse 0 #4 Posted January 20, 2010 Not to take over the thread, but does anyone know the original size of the wear bar? like the width of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bork 0 #6 Posted January 20, 2010 Not to take over the thread, but does anyone know the original size of the wear bar? like the width of it. I have a long frame, 42" wide blade. I bought used, in good condition, I flipped the wear blade cause it was just starting to wear the backing. So presuming I am the 1st to flip it . I just measured the new half, from edge to center of bolt. which measures 1-1/4" . So double that for the total width of 2-1/2".(when new?) Maybe someone else will chime in, that has a new blade, to tell you for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,842 #9 Posted January 21, 2010 I just bought a 48 " 4 inch (2 inches beveled) cutting edge for the loader bucket I'm having built. Cost me $28.00. I don't think I did to bad. They build those big Pro -Pusher loader blades there and that's what's on them. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheelbearing 49 #10 Posted January 21, 2010 Not to take over the thread, but does anyone know the original size of the wear bar? like the width of it. I have a dXF file of the blade if your interested or I can make a drawing off of it. I made a few 2 years ago at work on the laser. I made them 1/4 thick though.
