Anyone recognize this roll over box blade?

[FF117]

I am planning on going to look at a box blade this weekend and I was wondering if someone could help me identify it. The link is below and the seller said he didn't know what brand it is. I'd like to get some general feedback on rollover box blades and what I should look for to make sure it's in decent shape. Also, do you think it's a good deal? Thanks

Looks like another rollover that was posted about not long ago. I'll see if I can find the thread and give a link. From what I've read, that sounds like a great price.

It looks like an older Gill...Gannon and Gill are together now, but there weren't alot of difference in most of them. Just make sure the pivot point aren't worn out or bent and the blade flips nicely. The locking handle can give problems as well.

It's a Woods product. Woods Equipment Company - 72'' & 84'' Heavy-Duty Rollover Box Scrapers - R Series

Look at the tower and the cross braces in the box itself. Hard to see in the add listing, but they are there. I don't know how much Woods rollovers cost, but a new Gannon would run you well in excess of $1500.

Here is a thread that has pictures of mine in all the different positions.

Thanks! It does look a lot like the Woods R series. I'll be sure to check the pivot point, tower, and cross braces. I'll have him hook it up so that I can make sure it pivots OK. If I buy it I'll try to post some pics. It seems like a reasonable price as long as everything works.
