Grader on Ebay Buyers Beware!

[SmilinSam 4,242]

If you all have noticed the AC grader blade on Ebay right now,( see the link below)if you look carefully at the hitch it is not a original AC blade hitch. This is a homade copy. I looked at my parts books and the difference is readily apparrent. The picture is at such an angle that I cannot tell whether the blade itself is original or not. Whether the seller, "Allischic" ,knows this or not is up in the air so I will give benefit of the doubt, but it is definately not a "real" AC grader blade as advertised. I'm sure it will fit and work fine, but It should not be bid on for a originality basis.[A href='http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2013313206']http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2013313206[/a]

Sam, Besides the hitch, even the part that bolts to the blade is different. Does that look like fresh yellow paint with overspray on the blade? http://abacus.sj.ipixmedia.com/abc/M28/_EBAY_739812e3ecdf99e5123d7ad137/i-1.JPG

It looks like there are a couple extra holes in the iron on the grader blade on ebay also. The crossmember has a hole and there's a hole in the hitch side iron by the pivot.

Could be original blade. Someone did a decent job making it however. Should be functionable for someone just wanting a usable grader blade. Happy Easter to you and your family guys.. M. Kerr
