The letter H means Hillside. They are wider than a regular AD. Your tractor was probably made late in 1944. Remember durring the war very few tractors were made that were not military models. On the blade, we had a customer who had a BD and he told about taking his new truck and going to Wisconsin to pick up the blade.

I start at scrap, which from what I have read is .15 cents per pound. It would be worth at least that. Possibly even twice that price depending on condition. The Heil was a blade made for Cletracs mostly, and would probably be factory/dealer installed.

Don't scrap it, I thought you were looking to buy... Where are you located? If you're close I'll take a look, if not I'll do my best to find it a home. PM me with your info and I'll call
