Rear Blade Pics/ Question

[cj4200]

You should check out the back blades at http://www.xtrememotorworks.com/ Aaron does awesome work very high quality stuff. Check out this thread http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ead.php?t=8834 juniors1282's Has one of Aaron's back blades so you could ask him about them too.

I have seen that thread and looked at extremes web site. Personally I don't care for there blade, not knocking there product in anyway, I am sure it is well built and works as it is designed to do, however I prefer the blade in my pics over there's for a couple of reasons. One being that it more adjustable, I think xtremes says it only rotates 15 degrees from side to side, and the other is I prefer the blade to sit further behind the tractor. I have used blades on larger tractors and find myself watching the blade when using it to see what it is doing. I think xtremes would be hard to see since it sets so close to the tractor.

I plan to buy this blade next week, of course I'll try to work him some on it and get it as cheap as I can. Maybe I can figure out who made it, it looks to be a heavy duty well built blade in good condition.... of course seeing it in person may change my mind, pics can be deceiving.

Bringing this back from the dead, maybe someone who hasn't seen this thread before will know something about it. Here are some pics of it from different angles:

I think it is 48" wide, weighs in some were around 150+lbs, is made to fit a brinly adapter, the tongue is approximately 3" diameter pipe, looks like the stud on the rear above the blade is made to hang wheel weights on, there is no wear edge (never had one, no mounting bolt holes for it), swivels 360 degrees (you have to remove the blade stop hoop and flop it over to allow it to hold the blade stationary when it's cutting edge is facing the rear). I did purchase it and is sitting in my shop waiting on me to get my tractor put back together so it can come out and play.

I saw a post on here, but can't remember where, and have not been able to find it again , that had a cub with a fel and the same blade mounted on the rear of it, only it was painted white. I will continue my search and maybe they know where it came from, anyone with any ideas on what it is, let me know!

Thanks, I think you found it. I will try to see if I can contact them and see what they know about the blade.

Those silly Canadians have a broken link to contact them, so I'll have to continue my quest for info.

Its a johnson work horse back blade i think its made by the same people that built johnson loaders. This is a rear rake one that i found on another sight but your sleeve hitch brackets are the same and your colors are the same. But you cant really read the sticker but it says Johnson.

Thanks for the info and pic, looks like you maybe right. The blade I have has not markings on it what so ever, however, looks to have been a tag attached with rivets near the top of the blade at some point, the holes are there, but the tag is mia. It doesn't really matter what it is, just curious to find out what it is.
