1864 snow blade
 

Hey guys I maybe found a 42" snow blade for my 1864 but the owner isn't sure of what it fits. By the pictures that he has looks like the right subframe by the parts diagram, 316 I believe, I was curious if anyone could post a couple pics of their setup to compare. thanks

If its a 42", likely its for a narrow or wide frame. You could make a w.f. work by extending the front tugs. Don't quote me, but I think its at least 1.5"

Thanks rescue, it is yellow and has the rear 3 holes for cylinder bracket

Looks like a cyclops blade to me.

Hope it's cheap. Looks pretty rough.

Looks like the blade I use with my 1864. The mounting is the reinforced one with the rear cross plate between the arms. I paid $125 for mine about 6 years ago. Make sure it comes with the lift bracket that mounts on the rock shaft, the lift rod and skid shoes for the bottom of the blade. Check the bottom of the blade for wear. Negotiate accordingly.

The almost never do come with that stuff. No big deal. Easy to make, or buy.

Well guys I did get the blade. It's really not to bad of shape, but no lift rod or the tractor lift bracket. I'm not to worried adout the rod to make but the lift bracket may be tricky to make. Not really wanting to spend $100 for the lift bracket. Has anyone ever fabricated one up?

The lift bracket is sometimes available on ebay. Check ebay for skid shoes from a few sellers.

I made one when I first got my blade for my 1864. It wasn't pretty, it didn't happen quick (I used thicker steel than I probably had to), but it worked like a charm. I think I still have it laying around somewhere.

My point is we have some amazing fabricators on here with more tools to do a proper job than you can shake a stick at. I, however, am not a fabricator but if I can make one with a hunk of steel, angle grinder, drill/drill press, chop saw, etc then most should be able to do it :biggrin2:

Well.... should have taken that into consideration when purchasing a blade. Yes, Aaron over at xtrememotorworks.com fabricates them up all the time. He can make you one..... for $105 plus shipping. Or you can hunt ebay, put up a wanted ad, or try your hand at building your own.


What is your deal with skid shoes? Guy said NOTHING about them not being there, or needing any. I don't even have them on my blades. Took them off and don't use them.

Yea the skid shoes are there. Can anyone by chance get the distance on the lift bracket (hole where the rod goes to the hole where the zerk is?

My bracket appears to be a casting. Centerline to centerline = 3.62 inch. Part number stamped 719-3093.
My paved driveway is rough with many heaves and cracks from tree roots. I would rather wear the skid shoes than the corners and edge of the wear bar or blade.
