Zd1211 blades

That’s exactly why I went with the 1/4” thick 3” wide Oregon 396-814 G6 Gator Blades.
Their Strong & more flat than the curved, thin cheesy Kubota OEM blades

My understanding is that the 396-814 blades are for 72" rear discharge .. but not 72" side discharge?

I’m going to do this same blade holder boss mod to my ACS 72 SD to run the same blades as my RD 72”.

I think the older SD Pro Decks accepted 1-1/8 center hole blades

My G6 Gator blades on 72” RD Deck seems to leave clippings 1/4-1/2” in length.

The stock Kubota blades on my new 72” SD deck leaves clippings 1“ or Longer :thumbdown:

I know I’m comparing two different decks but the Teeth on the G6 Gator MULCHING Blades do cut the blades of grass as it’s slinging them out.

Yea same washers. Your not machining down that far, so washers still fit down where it wasn’t machined down to 1 1/8”

Ok. I answered my own question when I assembled it.

I bought extra washers, blade bolt & boss to keep on hand.

My machine shop is turning 4 bosses down to 1-1/8” Monday so I’ll have a spare.

I like keeping spare parts on-hand at all times.

I find when shopping on the internet I have better luck using part numbers rather than descriptions.
These are the 72" blades with 1-1/8 holes ...

BTW ... I'm just sharing what I spent many hours researching!

The 92-116 mow nice but flex a lot where the flat meets raised portion of blade. Lay it on ground and step on it lightly and see how much it bends

My previous post I was saying I bent a set of stock 1 1/8” blades but I looked again and they were these 92-116 1/4” thick Oregon’s For all i know I could have bought them bent (from amazon) and not noticed until I tried to check deck level.Let me know how you make out with yours. On a flat surface the cutting edge is off over 1/8” from one side to another with MAYBE 4 hours on them in flat nice grass
As I write this I’m thinking I got a defective set or they were ran over or crushed in warehouse
