Title: OC4 Parts on Ebay...Unusual Anderson Blade????
Post by: Mike Anderson on February 22, 2008, 05:43:09 AM
Hi folks,

It's been awhile since I posted here.   Spent a year or so watching people build my new house.  The old one was dirty.

I've always really liked the design of the Anderson blades and saw this one for sale on ebay.  It looks like the blade lift cylinder is mounted directly in front of the radiator.  There seems to be a frame that goes around or in front of the radiator for mounting a single cylinder.  The whole thing has been taken off the tractor so it's a little hard to figure out what's really going on.

I've seen the type with the cylinder mounted on top of the hood, but this seems to be different.

Is anyone familiar with this?

I too don't know anything about the blade frame (interesting design).  I also have seen a couple like that on ebay over the past year or two.

I happened to look at the seller's ebay handle and I have purchased some parts from that particular ebay seller.  Everything has been A.O.K.  Marcella ( I believe, that's her name) has been prompt in responding to questions, quick to ship, and the parts have been as advertised.

Quote from: "walter hudson"I believe that was probably a snow blade .
Now that you mention it I believe I remember the ones I saw them on were described as used for sidewalk snow removal by city maintenance departments.
