Kevbo 80 #1 Posted April 27, 2014 Hey everyone hope you all are enjoying your weekend! Does anyone know if I can get mulching blades for my 42" rear discharge deck? If so, what brand/part number would be the blades? Thanks in advance! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skrusins 128 #3 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted 16 July 2013 - 06:05 PM I bought and received today gator blades for my 42" RD deck the Oregon no. is 96-303. The Oregon site states the blades are 14 1/2" long with 3/4 in center hole.That was wrong. The center hole is .705", it was no problem to open the hole to 3/4". I use a drum grinder on a Dremmel and work great. As of today 4/27/2014 they work great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are slightly shorter blades with the 3/4” hole, but supposedly they may leave some uncut strips in your mowing path. This will be the inaugural task of my newly acquired 50’s craftsman drill press. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
