If you mean a 6 way blade, angle and tilt, yes there was. The #62 blade is an inside arm manual 6 way blade.

Dan,

I have a 420 with a big Holt blade that's manually adjustable in all directions. It's mounted to the out side of the tracks. I have no idea when it was installed.

Lowboy,

Mine, too, is sort of cobbled together. The blade appears to be a bit too big for the machine, but I know that it has been mounted on this 420 since the early sixties, and much road work and logging has been done with it.

It's all off, and to one side, right now. I will rebuild the side frams, as they look sort of like pretzels, before I reinstall the whole mess.

Gary
