Where to find cutting blades for Frontier Mower

TCarey · Apr 19, 2006

I have a 48" Frontier GM 1048E Rear Finishing Mowing deck. It has worked well for me, but when I started to search around for a source for purchasing a spare set of blades for the mower, I cannot seem to find one. I have taken the blades off for sharpening, but figure it would be nice to have a spare set handy so when I feel the blades need sharpening, I can slap on the spare set and then have the luxury of taking my time to sharpen and balance the other set. Can anyone point me to a source for some blades ?

Thanks.... Todd

I'm going to suggest the obvious /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif.......try your local Deere Dealer- /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Actually, it was the first time I have been disappointed by the local dealer. They give me a "Frontier ????" attitude. When I explained I purchased the RFM deck from them together with my JD 2210 CUT, they still were kind very much in the dark.

I went thru this when I had the belt break and I needed a new one. I got no help from them, so I ended up taking the belt to my local WW Graingers and they got me a replacement (which I bought 2 of....).

I was just hoping someone could find a source. I tried to "google" it with no luck. I can find the unit on the John Deere web site, but no links to parts.... /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

AgriSupply has three different rottary cutter blades in their catalog.

Agri Supply

Does anyone know what types of rotary cutters these fit?

Will any of these fit a Howse 400 rotary Cutter?

You'll notice the only difference in those three is the length. Measure your old ones. There is very little that can go wrong with the exact blade shape besides the hole size and overall length.
