Bisio Motors, 2869 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland, OR, 503-232-6113, sells both orriginal replacement arms and blades.The blades I
purchased last winter are Anco #59-13.  My previous blades were Trico #Unknown.
These blades are considered Heavy Duty Winter Blades so we generally don't see them on the auto parts store shelves out here
on the West coast, but they can be ordered at quality parts stores.  Look in the back of the Anco manual.  I have also seen
this series of blades at the IH Truck (Navistar) service shop
