double d mower blades

[manant 57]

The mower blades for my 48" mower deck no 65-48ms01 seem impossible to find. The 3 blade kit part number is 100202 and the blades have a double d center hole and two side holes for pins.

Would it be safe to remove the 1/4" spirol pins from the spindle and use a blade with a 3/4"round center hole using a cupped washer and standard bolt?

Check with K & B  in our vendor section they may have a set of  D D  blades.

Thanks, I looked at K&B but did not see any. I posted a request to them but no reply yet.

Wonder if the blades are too hard to drill so the pins would still drive them?

Use 106637 3-blade set (3/4" round hole)

Is that a typo?  should that be   05-48MS01 ?  Are they really the double D ?  maybe that is the correct number I don't know.

 

[never mind!  I see that is a good number, disregard please.]

 

I can tell you that the blades for my 05-48MS01 from 1980 are in fact 3/4" hole and easily found.

Thanks daveoman!  I have been looking all over for these with no luck until I clicked on your link. I have ordered them - about $60 including shipping.

Thanks again.

Can be done; we've done it successfully. Just make sure to retain the 1336  blade washer when doing so. We have a fully outfitted machine shop at our disposal so we're a little more spoiled than most when it comes to things like this.

DANG!  I just got a call from Pat's Small Engine Plus saying the blades are no longer available and they are refunding my $60.  I am still looking.

I may have a decent set of DD blades for the 48" deck....not sure.  

Will check in the daylight am and let you know.  

BTW...contact me easier via email.  I am:
