#61 blade questions on a 40C

Post by JD40c » Sun May 05, 2013 8:39 pm

Finally getting off my butt and putting the #61 blade on my 40C, replacing the #76 blade that was on it.

I have the full belly pan setup and it would seem that the long bar that goes from the front frame cross bar up to the front tow/pull lug gets in the way of the crossbar lift arm for the blade.

Can anyone confirm that the tow lug isn't compatible with the #61 blade?

There won't be much clearance for the front belly pan either, but I think it'll fit.

I have the parts list already. It doesn't say anything about other parts on the crawler.

Never thought of it til you mention it, but it does seem like it won't fit.

Do you have the long heavy metal bar/strap that runs back to the front cross-bar though?

Cool. Hopefully it'll fit the same for me. I'm waiting on a couple parts before bolting the blade frame to the crawler frame.

Yep. The bar did indeed fit.
