D8T SU BLADE: LOOKING TO BUY

[Jnocano]

Greetings,

Does anyone here have any information on a used D8 SU Blade? Looking to spend around 20,000.

If that’s 20k US dollors,you may struggle.
More like 25/30k US dollars

Would have to add tens of thousands of dollars to that price to get a D8t here in Canada. That may get you a 15,000h machine…..

He's only looking for an SU Blade, not a complete machine.........

To the OP:
Do you need push arms, linkages, tilt cylinder(s), etc, or just the bare blade.?
What S/N of machine is it going on.? I see a load of different D8T SU blade Part Numbers.

Oops! My bad

Missed that rather important detail.

AW401382, Push arm and blade, after doing some more research 25/30k seems more in line.

Is your machine an LGP configuration.?
If yes then what width of track shoes does it have installed.?

LGP or not will make a big difference regarding what blade option(s) will fit.

28" track shoes

28" track shoes

28" shoes are the widest available for a non-LGP D8T undercarriage configuration. (LGP shoes are 38" wide). There are obviously differences between the mountings of a blade over 38"-wide shoes compared to 28"-wide. That was the reason for my LGP question.

See attached for all the details of the push arms, stabilizer link, etc, applicable to your A4W-prefix D8T running 28"-wide track shoes. Having Part Numbers at least means you can search for what you need. I also added all the four options of SU blades that will fit on to that particular Blade Installation Arrangement

 

[Jnocano]

Yeah thankfully it is not lgp, it seems it may be harder to find a blade and arrangement to fit if it was.
Is there any chance you could share the same information for a U blade?. Thank you in advance adnd Thanks a lot for the previous help sir! Have a blessed day.

There are only two options for U-blade. See attached.
