skrusins 128 #1 Posted January 9, 2015 Hello to everyone, I bought a old 42in snow/dozer blade that fits my 1976 B80. The Index Lever that changes the angle of the blade is different than all the ones that I looked at in the manual section. There is "no hole" for an eye bolt that holds the upper index rod. A wire goes from the handle to the Index Plate that changes the angle of the blade. I want to make sure the handle setup is right. All the 42in blades I looked at don't resemble this handle.

Lane Ranger 10,530 #2 Posted January 9, 2015 Can you post a picture or two of the handle? That would help in IDing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skrusins 128 #3 Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Is there a parts manual for D series. I can check if that would be the handle Edited January 10, 2015 by skrusins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daveoman1966 3,629 #6 Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Index handle should look like this one... The OFFSET is only about 2"... Not 6 (or more)as his pic shows. Edited January 10, 2015 by daveoman1966 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skrusins 128 #7 Posted January 10, 2015 You're right this handle must have came from a different company and was painted to match. You also were close on the offset it's 5in. And if it wasn't for the offset the index handle look the same the lever and bolts to the frame. That is what threw me off. Thanks for your help. I'll have to find out how much a used one would cost.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,515 #8 Posted January 10, 2015 You can cut the offset down and weld the assembly to fit your need(s). I've changed many of these handles as required. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skrusins 128 #9 Posted January 11, 2015 Would like to Thank all of you. After examining the handle closely I was able to see the mounting screw hole was drilled to fit. Then they painted and placed a identical lever to make it look original. Thanks to you for making me look closer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
