 Topic: Allis chalmers snap coupler
Posted: 01 Sep 2018 at 8:32am |

I was just giving a 6ft scraper blade for my D15. I have rebuilt the snap couplers on my tractor side but the scraper just has a bolt through the hole. How do I find the implement side of snap coupler that bolted to the scraper blade. Does someone have a part number or close up picture how it came from factory? Hoping to find originals and bolt to scraper blade.

  Pretty sure there is something mounted where the bolt is that slides into coupler.

That is an aftermarket blade, not A-C. It probably bolted through the hole in the end of the lift arm without using a snap coupler latch.

FYI, Todd, the genuine AC blade is easy to ID, it has like a 5/8" or maybe 3/4" moldboard thickness, VERY heavy...
The bolts, on yours, look a little short, for the job. They should go all the way across both ears of the lift arm clamp, or you will end up breaking one ear, off of one side, or worse, both...

Todd have you replaced the double C spring inside the snap coupler bell? It should be done.

The Snap Couple is the connection on the bell, under the middle of the tractor. The lift latches are mounted on the lift arms and connect to the implement.

I have an aftermarket SC blade and that's basically how it hooks, a couple bolts that hook in the lift arm latches. Originally it just had 2 separate arms like the one in the pic. I found that using the blade anywhere than parallel with the rear axle the arms would disconnect. I built new arms just like a factory blade has and that fixed the problem.
