GT 2550 Blades

[GT2550]

I have a GT 2550. Looking for replacement blades. Part number in manual calls for 759-04047. Any x-ref to Gator blades or old Cub part numbers? Looks like this blade part number is new for the GT 2550.

GATOR does not list a "Gator blade" equivalent for this model yet. They seem to be about 1 year behind in releasing the "Gator blade" equivalent to the OEM part.

If you can wait, the "Gator blade" for this model should be out next year.

The 759-04047 is the current part number for the 50" blades. Not sure why the 3 pack at Partstree costs more than getting 3 individual blades? CNG (Bermuda Ken's dealership) has the 04047's online for $19.42 ea. You should be able to sharpen the old blades up on a bench grinder and get enough time out of them until the Gator mulching blades are available, they do list a 50" size for CC at Gator but I'll take it they won't fit the 2550 deck for whatever reason. I just put a set of the Gators on my 44" and they work great, and were only $13.00 each on E-bay.

Thanks for the replies. I think I will wait for the Gators to come out. I should be able to sharpen them some more.

How do you like the Gators on the 44"? I have 2544 with the stock blades. I've not even tried mulching yet, so I can't comment on the mulching abilities of the stock setup. I would like to give it a whirl, though, especially later in the year now and the grass isn't so 'juicy'. My trusty Lawn-Boy will totally fill up the underside of the deck if I try to mulch spring grass. What a mess!

I have Gator Blades on a 42" cut Yard Machines & like them very much.
Have not been able too find them for my 05 GT 2544.
Mulching with the stock blades seems to do a decent job. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

The Gators on my 44" deck work well, leaving much less clipping shards than the stock blades, but I still tow my little Agri-Fab sweeper behind when I mow. There are still grass clumps left under the deck after mowing, especially on the left side opposite the discharge chute, but I clean the deck underside with the tractor on ramps with compressed air and a scraper after every use, takes about 5 minutes. Very happy with the Gator Blades, I safely recommed them, just watch it while installing them, they are gnarly! They should be on the market for the newer CC's soon.

I have looked through the Oregon 2007 catalog to see if there is a new Gator blade for the 759-04047 blade used on the GT2550. Anyone have any info if there is a Gator version out yet?

Thanks.

What's with all the double-postings? Did they upgrade the server to Windows Vista or something?
