Gator blade p/n for 42" RD deck

[skrusins 128]

Hi, I've been doing a search in RS for a p/n for a gator blade I found several different numbers.

Oregon 96-303, 90-714, 90-643, I would like to know if anybody knows the correct number.

Thanks in advance

The only one I see on a list I made is the 90-643 which replaces Wheel Horse/Toro blade # 106077 and 106636 3-blade set that fit the side discharge decks. Have a 3/4" round hole.

(Oregon # 91-805 13-27/32in. regular blade)

(Oregon Gator Mulcher # 90-943 13-27/32in.)

(Oregon Gator Mulcher 3-in-1 # 90-643 13-27/32in.)

 

 

What is the original Toro blade number for your deck or the deck model number?

What dimensions are the holes? 3/4" round or 5/8"x3/4" double-D shaped hole?

The gator blades that came off my 42 inch rear discharge deck were listed for a Dixie Chopper. Oregon blade number 90-714. They measure 14-1/2" diagonal and have a 3/4 inch center. hole. Hope this helps out. 

 

They worked fine and I plan to sharpen them and use them as spares. In tall grass the regular blades seem to give me a better cut.

Thanks I checked 90-714 on Oregon's web site, and it's not available.

Evidently nobody else is using gator blades anymore. I have had good

luck using them in the past on all the equipment I owned.

What are gator blades?  Do they improve the cut or something.  Or do they just last longer?
