The folks at the Wheels Of Time Museum in Peoria are trying to find out what brand of blade is on the front of their Cat dozer. Any ideas?

Although it's a cable blade, I'm thinking LaPlant-Choate.

Those heavy push arms with a flanged joint look like an ATECO blade. (American Tractor Equipment Company)

Hi, KevinKizer.
I am thinking a Baker blade.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

I think its a baker as well,

here is a list to compare with https://classicdozers.wordpress.com/dozer-gallery/blade-manufacturers/
OK, I agree on the Baker blade. The ATECO push arms have more taper to them than what I see with the Baker, less the arch.
