Front Blade ?
 

Will a blade from a 169 fit a 1450? Found this locally, but don't have model #.

YES....it will

:Thanks: R Bedell. What are these blades worth? The guy is asking $150

A "What's it worth?" always depends on location and condition. I see you're in Washington. Here in Iowa, that blade would be $75-100 all day with the lift rod and not broken, welded, and cutting edge/shoes in good shape. Might be worth the asking price in your area. Do you see alot of cub stuff in the Pacific Northwest???

Those could be considered 150 here in SE MI as well; price will only get higher as the colder weather gets closer.

My front blade was purchased with good shoes, subframe and slightly bent lift rod (decent cutting strip) for $50 BUT this was back in April.

Also, remember that some people like to start off asking what seems high so they can leave negotiating room so if it gets sold cheaper both the seller and buyer can go away from the deal feeling good about it.

i paid 100 for mine with both a narrow subframe as well as a wideframe better shape then that and had good shoes as well as cutting edge. that was back in feb. i would offer 75-100 in my honest opinion, but thats going off things here in mid illinois

Dumb question here. Does someone have a pic of the shoes so I know which piece to look at? I have never owned one of these so I don't know what the shoes are. :Unknown: They must be some sort of skid plate.

They mount on the bottom on each side to prevent wear on the blade.http://emob1192.photobucket.com/albu...g?t=1340581627

:Thanks: cub123.

We picked up the blade today. Looks like it will need to be blasted and painted, but overall not too bad of shape.

Looks like a decent blade, cutting edge looks good too:beerchug:

Thought I better mount it up and make sure nothing is bent. Went on easy. I guess I need to get some chains now. What type of chains should I be looking for?

Nice score on your blade.

Depending on the size of your tire, it depends on what kind of chains you need. I have 23X10.50-12 tires on my 147 and bought these last month.

I like that they are 2 link, very heavy duty, and are reasonably priced. The seller is also one of the best sellers of tires/tire accessories I've dealt with. I have yet to use them on snow but I have a feeling they are going to work great.

Here is a pic. of them mounted on mine. When properly installed no chain tensions are needed.

:Thanks: drglinski : Nice looking chains. I have the same size rears 23x10.50x12. I'll have to look into those.
