The Tuul Crib 7,332 #1 Posted May 18, 2019 I’m picking up an old blade on Sunday. I’m trying to figure out about how old it is. There is a serial number of 34596 im sure it is for a short frame Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 10,707 #2 Posted May 18, 2019 You're right about that, I'd say it's from the 60's. Not sure of an exact year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tuul Crib 7,332 #4 Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Went to pick up the blade today and brought it home and OMG ! This Poor little thing was beat to death! Looks like they ground down half of the blade edge and the blade itself. This could take a little bit of repair. Has anyone else ever run into this situation which I’m sure you have. What have you done? Oh and by the way the price was right paid 50 bucks for it Edited May 19, 2019 by The Tool Crib 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge 3,462 #5 Posted May 27, 2019 With that much wear - you either have to weld in a new piece of steel to the bottom of the moldboard or just weld on a new cutting edge. I've had to do several - one was repaired with a new strip of steel, the other 2 I just welded on the pre-beveled 1055 cutting edge sold on eBay.

rjg854 10,707 #6 Posted May 27, 2019 I just bought a blade that is somewhat similar. Only one hole was worn down so that it was open on the bottom. I put a new wear bar on the blade and I feel that it will be fine, time will tell. The PO had flipped the wear bar and it held up and wore down again, but not to that extent.
