I can't see the lift mechanism well enough, it might be a 61, is definitely not a 62. A 61 does have one lift cylinder on the RH side, but the moldboard does not look quite right to be a 61. If you can, post a pic of the back side of the moldboard and the push arms.

That is an aftermaket blade, I can't help on the manufacturer. There might be a tag on it somewhere that will identify it, or maybe someone where will recognize it.

Lavoy, it is beefy for an aftermarket blade it works well has a fram adapter to angle the blade for two different settings right or left. Compared to the 61 blade fram and blade this seems much stronger. Thanks for the info this site is always very helpful George

Your blade is a Greenville Rail Car Bull blade if you haven't found out yet.

I have the same blade as well. My machine came with an interchangeable root rake that looks too nice to be homeade. Pull two pins to swapthe out thethe blade goras the rake. It may have been another option.

LOVE to see a photo of the root rake! I'm always up for more fabrication on my crawler.

That looks like a nice machine, complete with fenders and sprocket covers.

I thought it was a Greenville Steel Car blade or is that another manufacturer?

I also would like pictures of the root rake. I am going to build one, but mine will hang off the blade. This way if I drive way out to a field, I can slip it off and use the blade after ripping everything up. It will also have a cage for pushing up brush piles.
