Gator Blades for BX decks

[Tdog]

Those gator blades sound tempting. Can someone post pictures of the bushings that you need to adapt them to the BX deck?

Thanks,

Kubotabilly,

Can you post a part # for the 54" deck blades?? I would like to try a set of them. Thanks.

Tdog,
Here are some pics of the bushings I used. I made mine out of a piece of Cat1 x Cat 2 bushing stock. I bought the stock at TSC. They measure 7/8 ID x 1 1/8 OD x the thickness of the blade. I just tapped them on the blades with a small hammer.

Ron,
The gator # is 90996. I got mine at Jack's Small Engines in Maryland. Their number is 1-877-737-2787. I believe there was a previous post where someone bought them cheaper elsewhere.

Thanx, Kbill.

What is the advantage to the gator blades, say over the stock 54" fine cut deck? Does it just chop the cuttings better? I would love to mulch but reality is I only mow once a week and it just ain't gonna work.
