Did JD offer an all hydraulic 6 way blade on the 420C model? Thanks, gregjo1948

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think I seen any all hydraulic 6 way blades until the 350's came out. I would say custom made is the only option for a 420!

I think I remember that someone on this forum posted pictures of one that they made up and it was really nice..... anyone else recall?

No, first factory Deere 6 way was on the 440. If fact I have heard that it was the first factory 6 way of any of the manufacturers.

notmeu is being modest. Take a look at his.

Willyr also fabricated a 6way blade as I remember and posted pictures of it.

OT: I noticed that my house keeping at Photobucket has caused a link problem. I'll try to fix it soon. Paul

Yes I did create a 6 way. I could do it again if some one wanted to pay for it.

By the way. I went through almost 50 pounds of 3/16" 6010 welding rod for the conversion.

Lavoy, Did the 440 come with a full hydraulic 6 way or did it have the manual pins? Just curious, I never seen one. Willy I know what your talking about, I went thru a good 40 pounds of .035 wire building mine!

FYI, my 2010 dozer has a factory 6-way hydraulic blade (model just after the 440 but before the straight 350/450).

Yes, model 64 hyd 6 way blade. Manual 6 way blade was the model 63.

Well gregjo1948, to answer your question it sounds like a no to me! That is, not a factory option! Unless you get that welder out!!!!

Next ? Would an all hydraulic 6 way from an early 440 fit to a 420 without fabrication? Thanks, gregjo1948

I can't speak for how a 440 6-way would mount up to a 420 but I would think there would be a little fabrication. For example when I made the 6 way on my 420 I had to get every ounce of fluid out of my existing hydraulic tank that I could so I did not run short, So I installed a 10" extension pipe onto my filler tube so I could get a little more fluid into the tank. It worked out great, except for when I would climb a steep hillside or do more of a pushing the limits of gravity move I would get some fluid coming out of the filler tube. But I would think a 440 tank would be bigger and it was probably in a different location than the 420????

Mounts are completely different, major fab work to say the least. No place to mount the rub blocks is another problem.

If you haul it to Maine I would be more than happy to make the conversion for you. I still have some of the 3" od 1" id structural tubing left over.

I need something to do, so if you didnt mind some one else working on it for 6 months, it wouldnt be a prob for me. I can deliver yet I get 50 cents a mile.

Lavoy-- I think the Internaional T340/ TD340 might have had a fully hydraulic 6 way. They came out about '58 '59 and would have been about the same time as JD 440. Whom do suppose stole the idea? Maybe the 310 Case.
