john deere wiper blade

[Steve-Maine]

Looking for wiper blade for John Deere X585 with Curtis Cab. Dealer wants $45. Too much for just a wiper blades. Thanks

I would disconnect the blade from the arm and take it to Walmart and compare until you find the same connection to arm style.
Then buy one longer than what you have if there is room to do so.

yes should be able to match it up the one on my gator is same as my truck

Take the blade off and go match it. Can save a lot of money by doing so. No sense paying for a name.

I have the same issue.

Nothing matches up at Walmart or any auto parts store. The counter people have never seen anything like it.

On my cab the wiper has this short straight blade that's held on to the arm with a little wire clip.

$45 seems like an awful lot for an 11" wiper blade.

Why in the heck don't ya just change the rubber wiper. That all one use to do 25 or 30 years ago, didn't have the complete wiper assembly..

If you can just replace the rubber blade it self, I would be looking to modify the existing arm.
See if the arm goes onto the drive motor like an everyday car or truck. And use a different arm with a readily available blade assembly.
Maybe visit a u-pull-it junkyard and see various donors.
Or you regular dismantling yard if they will let you look around.

Because I hit a low limb on a apple tree and twisted the blade aup.
