Do you have the part number for the blades? Both the NH number and Gator number?

Pretty big price difference.. between Murph's dealer and Tim's.. I'd buy a second set too at the $14.50 price! Spent all day Sat. mowing.. finally dry enough after Isabel.. glad I did.. cause it came down in buckets Sat. night. Thanks for the info on the $..

Bee,

I will get the part number for the 72" mower and if you wish I am sure I can get the 60" also. I will confirm the price also as the $#14.50 was what I was quoted. Also I did check with Gator and they don't have a part number nor will they sell one yet for the New Holland. Guess it is some agreement they have with New Holland, however Gators generic fits all was about $10.00 a blade more than New Holland.

Also another note, now that we are getting cooler weather I set my mower down a 1/2" to 3" and you should have seen the junk get lifted out of my grass. There is dead stuff all over half way out of the grass. I think with another mowing I will have my lawn de-thatched. Also when mowing the grass was coming out pretty fine and the wind was blowing it at least 20 feet away like in a dust storm. I think with time I am really going to like these blades.

Roger That! 72" is great for me.. as I have the same mower I believe you have.

Murph.........I have the same trouble with the grass popping back up as you had if I let it go too long between mowings. I asked my NH dealer about the gator blades and they quoted $24.50 per blade for the 72" mmm (941A). If you get them for the $14.50 Lets all get together and make a buy on them from your dealer before they catch on..........I'll gladly compensate you for your trouble plus shipping...........Let me know..........TOM.............I'd buy 2 complete sets and if bee wants some maybe we can split the shipping to ohio.

Count me in too.
Price the 84" blades and let me know.
Since I use 4 blades they are shorter than the 72" MMM.
I need 5 blades since the wife SOMEHOW bent one of the center blades down.
It is leaving a nice helicopter effect in the yard.

I finally got the invoice in the mail. She did charge me a bit more than what I was quoted. I called to tell them they charged me more and to get the price for the 60" and now I see I need to get the 84" also. They charged me for the 60's 15.92 each which still isn't bad on the fact I paid over $25.00 for the standard blades and if you try and order the Gator's from Gator you will spend over $25.00 also. Attached is a copy of the invoice and if a bunch of you want to get blades this company does not take Visa or Master Card but checks or cash only. They do let me charge.

The only person that knows the part numbers is the parts girl and she is on vacation this week.

Murph.......Is that the part# for the blade on your 72" MMM ?? Or is that price for the 60" mower..........your post is a little confusing or maybe it's just me??.............Tom
