IH Logo on Grader Blade
Where should the IH logo be located on a snow plow/grader blade? I have checked the pictures at the TM site but can't see it there. Thanks, Dan

Dan - this decal is on the horizontal push bars.
Are you looking for a decal on the blade itself?

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

BD: I was hoping that it would be stamped into the metal rather than painted on the surface so that it could still be seen after the paint is gone and rust is present. There is still some paint on the backside of the blade but none on the mounting frame. The paint is old and faded, could have been blue but now looks very close to JD green. I need to carry my implement book out and compare the frame to the picture in the book. My impression is that the structure of the frame is close, but not identical, to that in the picture. I will check to see how they compare. Thanks, Dan

Dan, try wet sanding a small spot of the "JD green" with some 400 paper, you will be able to tell if its been repainted or what the original color should have been..assuming it has not been totally sandbladed

Dan,
Keep in mind that IH made Cub blades from 1948 until some time around 1979 when they quit building the tractors. The decals on the blades changed every time there was a change in corporate trademarking, patents, blade model and probably even color. Possibly on a few other occasions as well. By the time you get several responses here, you will no doubt get contradictory information. It will probably all be correct.
To get answers you can work with, you need to identify the model and approximate year of the blade in question. If you can't determine that, pick a year you want to try to match.

Well, part of my problem is solved. I removed the cutting edge and found red paint underneath each bolt head. Also, as I knocked the rust off of the blade I could see red paint underneath. So a previous owner has applied green paint. I will probably be back with additional questions as I work to determine which blade I have. Thanks to each of you. Dan

Don: The grader blade which I purchased recently has a single spring. Jeff Silvey sent pictures of his and it contains a pair of springs. I can see only a single spring in your pictures but am wondering if there is a second which is hidden by other parts. I don't know which blade Jeff has but if he reads this maybe he will let us know. I am now trying to determine which blade I have. Thanks, Dan

Dan,
There are two springs on my red 54A blade.
One that you can clearly see in this photo.
The second one is under the horizontal angle adjusting mechanism. You can just barely see it in front of the adjusting holes in this photo.
This is a photo of a 54. You can see that it has only one spring in the lower location.

Dan:
As Don has already described, yours would be the first upgrade to the McCormick-Deering Leveling and Grader Blade. It still has just the spring for the trip mechanism under the frame. The Cub-54A utilized the same spring as found on the Cub Seat Assembly for the second upgrade.
I found this out as we built the replacement/upgrade parts for my blade.

Rudi: The blade is 53 or 54 inches long, 14 inches from the bottom of the cutting edge to the top of the blade, straight line, not following the curvature of the blade. For several summers I was an instructor for out-west field trips. We would take 30-40 Arkansas teachers to various locations in the western states. My speciality is mammals. On every trip, I believe, when we would be barreling down the highway at 75 miles per hour someone would see a ground squirrel streaking across the road and want to know what kind it was. All they could tell me was that it appeared to be brown. With just that information it could be any one of six or eight species found in that area. I feel like I am putting you in the same situation, asking you to ID the blade but not giving you the information needed to do the job. I will have pictures soon and then we can find out for sure. Dan
