Abstract
A reversible bit for selective mounting to an earth-moving blade, such as a bulldozer blade, having opposite corner portions. The bit includes transversely extending cutting edge portions and a mounting portion adapted to be selectively mounted to opposite corners of the blade with one or the other of the cutting edge portions suitably disposed in cutting position whereby the bit provides substantially twice the normal life of the conventional blade bit.
