Gator blades... again

[Schultz]

I mean 1/2" blade drop and not 1"

I appreciate the leads, I will see if I can track them down by blade measurements. If not I'll take Barnboy up on the bushings offer. thanks all /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Go here and look on page 7 for bushings. http://www.oregonchain.com/OEP/pdfs/BladesSect1.pdf

I see mention of blade part # 91-438 noted on page 16 here:
Oregon blades

The center hole is 1 1/8, but the bushings mentioned on page 7 are 1 inch:

Anyone know of other bushing locations, or do we need to start making a bunch of them?

Can anyone verify the blade part# compatability for a 60 MMM on the BX series?

Thanks
Chad

You can go to TSC and get their cat 1 to cat 2 bushing, 1-1/8" od X 7/8" id and cut them to just under a 1/4". I cut them with a 4-1/2" grinder and cut off wheel.

I can verify that part #90-987 that I have on my BX 60" deck works better than stock. It's the same thickness, has the same blade drop as stock, but it's .060" longer (.030" per side), however there's enough clearance that it doesn't touch anything.

I did notice one other advantage. It keeps the deck clean, there is virtually no grass build up.

Listed are two blades for a J. D. (91-394 and 90-734)
The measurements appear correct, including the center hole. What about the blade drop?
I am interested in the Mulcher Magnum.

In the picture it looks like a flat blade compared to the Kubota blade with the drop pictured on pg 16. Best way is to call or email Oregon.

Can you post the model number of your deck?

The model number for the 60" MMM for the BX is RCK60B-22BX.
