Not having much luck. Seems most of the parts guys in this area don't have a clue how to look up parts except by a specific part number anymore.

Is 1/8" thicker going to make any real difference on a cutting edge? The link I posted is the best match I've seen so far, other than being 5/8" thick.

I'd appreciate hearing what it is. The nearest equivalent I can find doesn't use all the same holes and I need them in order to use the gauge shoes. Worst case, I'll have to drill or torch a set of holes.

I found a couple vendors, Lavoy, but haven't ordered yet. Most have the edges in 5/8" thickness, or different hole patterns. Mine appears to be worn down by 3/4" which would explain the problems with cutting into the ground. I think having two cylinders for the blade when the #61 blade only has one ...

Driveway project with a 40C

I'd been planning on adding a shop extension and decided to widen the proposed gravel pad to make a spot for our RV. A few pictures of the progress: The area before digging started (taken a few months ago): http://images.ttyr2.com/albums/Recreational%20Vehicles/alpenlite_dl.jpg Just starting to cut ...

The holes aren't punched in the middle of the cutting blade, so it can't be flipped over.

Quick check of Google turned up this place: http://www.beavervalleysupply.com/secti ... tingec.htm

DE116206 is the item that will fit my dozer. Haven't heard about shipping yet.

Heh, Lavoy. About the grounding through hydraulic system, I had something similar happen in my old Datsun Roadster. The guy that helped me drop the engine back in didn't hook up the engine-to-frame ground, and I noticed one of the regulator wires started smoking while cranking the engine. Somehow, t...

Found a couple online vendors for cutter bar replacement. One of the bars is 3/4" taller than the one currently on my crawler. Not sure if mine is just worn down that much.

WTB JD #61 blade for 40C

I currently have a #76 blade on my 40C and it's overkill for this size tractor. I would be interested in trading it for a #61 blade that is in decent condition, or for possible purchase. Prefer a blade in the OR, WA, ID region.

Having trouble cutting in to hard ground

My 40C has a JD 76 blade on it. With the crawler on level ground and the blade all the way down, the front of the blade is almost perfectly vertical, from the cutting edge to the top of the blade. Is this normal, or should it be rolled back more? The problem is the dozer just won't cut into hard gro...

And think "squeeze" on the controls instead of jerking the levers. Just like firing a gun.

Which plow for a 40C?

How many plow bottoms was the 40C rated for?

And/or check the end plates, gears, body, for gouging? Lavoy can answer better than I, but I'd think if the bearings/bushings went out, the gears could dig into the end covers.
