Hey All,
My rear blade is cooked and not doing it's job. A lot of my use is with the snowblower, and it's been windy during the winters leaving my using it more than I would have thought.

Anyways, when I looked the part up, bills had them at a very high price imo.


Does anyone know a blade I can get at O'reillys or Autozone etc.. that might fit instead? much rather pay $20-$40 and no shipping.

Thanks in advance, I sure appreciate any help on this!

It looks to me that it is no more than an automotive style arm and blade.

If I were in your shoes, I would measure the existing arm and blade and go to COSTCO or NAPA or an auto parts tore and see if an arm and blade of the same length will fit as well. Take the existing arm and blade with you.

I doubt Mahindra makes their wiper arms and blades.

Good luck.

That's what I was hoping to hear. I'll take it off tomorrow and make the rounds. Half our local stores just closed in the last month, I'll have to call around and make sure they are still open!

I've replaced just the rubber insert for around $6 each. Trico 47-600, 700, 800 fit 6, 7, 8mm wide metal carrier. Cut them to length with a wire cutter. Used them for 25yrs now. They last as long as oem.

Measure the width of the plastic part of the rubber blade; I got tired of trying to find refills and got them on ebay. 6mm inserts 26" long for busses were .99 a pair, cut to fit. I got six sets so I'm set for a long time.

Yes, you can get replacement blades at most any auto parts store. I've replaced mine twice since I bought my tractor. Just took them off and brought to auto parts and got new ones.
Just replaced blades on my truck yesterday too. They were shredded. Thought I replaced them last year but looking at past purchase history it was wife's car that I did.

You'll find it, and at the lowest price @ rockauto.com
Example: I bought 2, 28" wipers for my MH from rockauto.com for $3.49 ea.

That's an unreal price these days!

Ya, there not specific to tractors. I bought my replacements from Costco when they had a sale.

I've found silicone blades work better in cold temps just fyi.

I buy the Bosch Truview wiper blades at O'Really's. They come with all the necessary adapters to fit any arm. I'd never buy wiper blades at any tractor dealer and O'Really's has the Bosch blades on sale right now. Buy one, get the second one free... Just bought 12 and paid for 6. Only needed 4 and the rest go on the shelf for when they wear out, and the do. Sale is good to President's day...

Okay great idea, we have one close by I will hit it up today once I finish cleaning up this snow! On hour 3, got 1-2 more. I love my tractor but having a loader or a push box that was 10-12 feet vs 7 and a 60inch blower would be nice!! 60mph winds make the blower useless today though.

Local Oriellys is closing apparently! Everything must go for weeks, nothing really left. Napa was next door and I got set up with some Trico edge ones. Maybe not the best ever, but pretty good and HAVE to be way better than what came on there.

Thanks for everyones help and advice!

It surprises me how many auto parts stores open next to each other. I can see maybe 10 different ones just in the main town. We had 1 in my little town thats been here for over 30 years. Then Auto Zone opened up a block away, and the old one shut down and now sells consignment items. Heck, some nut opened a new pizza restaurant in town half block from the other pizza place…..in a town of a few hundred people. Then they opened a pizza hot truck on the opposite corner. Insane.

We had a bunch, all where you could see the competition. I think I remember learning way back that mattress companies realized they make more money when people know "thats where you go for x/y/z" and group up. It looks like they over expanded at some point and things are coming back down.
