Below are some pictures of the d4 I purchased recently, and I have looked all over this site and google trying to find some information on who made this dozer blade and I cant find anything. Can any of you guys help me identify who makes this blade?

Judging from the tail fin in pix #1 it should be a late fifty's/early sixties Mopar or GM product.

Mike, where these blades pivot in the back, do they have some kind of bearing? On the left side of this one the pivot joint is a little loose and looking at it I cant tell if there supposed to have some type of bearing, or?

i agree it could be, i never seen a dakota with those triangle shaped pieces before. dakota was real popular in the midwest. i heard hardings in lowell used them alot cause patten had a deal with cat that hardings couldn't sell cat blades.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
