Adamsminitractor 9 #1 Posted July 3, 2016 Hi ya Guys. I was wondering if any of you guys could give me a link or web address to a parts diagram from my cutter deck. Its a 42" rear discharge deck as fitter to a 1974 Raider 12. My front middle blade has fallen off and i cant find it. Are they the same as the outer 2 blades?? Also need nut so need thread size. I am in the UK so main dealer is out of question. Just really need part number or sizes. Cheers guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,032 #3 Posted July 3, 2016 Believe the 3 blades are all the same length. If the center hole is 5/8" x 3/4" double-D those blades are no longer available. This is the first 42" rear discharge deck but little info available for it. The blade is retained by a bolt so will be older than your's if you have a nut. Can you remove a blade and see what size and shape the hole is? That may narrow down the vintage. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,032 #4 Posted July 4, 2016 A bit more info The 1976 model 65-42MR01 and the early 1975 model 75-42MR01 used a triangular swinging bracket for the spindle belt idler pulley and blades with a 5/8" x 3/4" double-D hole. The late 1975 model 75-42MR02 was the first to use a flat sliding bar for the spindle belt idler pulley and blades with a 3/4" round hole. This design continued for many years.
