ANY ideas on a 39" Wheel Horse dozer/ dirt blade ?

Recommended Posts

Picked this blade up at auction this past week sight un seen and when I went to pick it up this is what I had. Looks like factory welds but just light weight for Wheel Horse. 

Did the company ever use this size and type blades on smaller tractors like Lawn Ranger etc ??

I don't recall seeing a decal ever in this position either.  Any info appreciated.

That is for a Ranger BDR 385  Did you get the rest of it??

 

The mount is on my L107 in the picture.  I had to make the side plates (primer gray)

that blade mount looks like the one used on my mid mount grader blade , I wonder if they are interchangable.

I can't remember what the mid mount grader blade that I had several years ago looked like, seems it was similar..

No, they are not interchangeable. when you look at them separately they look similar.  Here they are side by side and you can see they are quite different. I'm sure they used the same press to make that main part... but otherwise totally different.

I don't know if the BDR-385 was 38" wide as the model number suggests or not.

The replacement blade for the BDR-385 in 1968 is listed as 39" model 6-3111

The blade for the verticle shaft Lawn Rangers is also 39" model 6-3151

The 38" and 39" have different part numbers.

Just noticed both blade manuals for BDR-385 and 6-3111 show a Lawn Ranger with the optional headlamps. Never seen that on others or did I just not notice?

With a 3 amp charging system you would not want to run them very long:P....The original manual for my L107 shows Headlight set HL-5 as an option for L-157 only.

The two different lengths got me interested.  Wen and measured my BDR-385...It is 39 inches long.  I have a spare wear edge it is also 39" long.  The wera edge part numbers are the same for the BDR 385 and the 6-3151.  The mounting units are completely different.

 

The BDR-385 parts list doesn't mention length at all.  However my L-107 manual does call the BDR-385 a 38" blade.

As I said earlier picked up the blade only in September now there is another sale online only which makes 5 they have had. Went by tonight to look thinks over and found the rest of it I think, fits like a new glove. Don't know the model Wheel Horse it will fit though. Any ideas ??

Think I found that today too. Hole to hole it measures 25&1/2" center to center. 

There is a number on the hanging red tag seen 100167 also on the blade is 100186 ? any ideas
