MC 40C blade question

Post by petehdgs » Sat Mar 23, 2013 6:32 am

My 40C is equipped with a front blade operated by the remote cylinder on a single lifting lever mounted on the right side of the tractor. This appears to be a common arrangement as I see it all the time on various internet images and video of these tractors.

Can anyone provide me with parts information on these blade systems? All the bushings are worn out, the blade needs repair, the blade angleing links are missing, and my JD dealer is clueless. He says the blades were not provided by John Deere. I think they were provided, but were likely attachments and he hasn't found them.

Thanks for your help in advance.

The dealer is an idiot and lazy, but you encounter that a lot.
Your blade is an #61 Angling Bulldozer, it is in his system, you can look it up on JDParts online, or you can order a parts book from deere.
Not many parts available for the blades, so you probably will strike out there. I have the angling braces if you need them.
