Mower Blades 36" RD Deck

["Manic-Mechanic" 1,194]

36" Stens 350-132 350-140 Lawnmower Blade Set Wheel Horse 107438 / 107437 3/4" 

I bought a set of blades that look great are balanced and the correct 3/4" center hole. (They must have had blades like the set pictured at one time.)

However the blades I received have two additional 5/16" holes either side of the center hole, not as pictured.

This is nothing more than an indication of multi-application type product, but still irked me for whatever reason?

If they were single use, they'd cost more.

Those same blades can work on mower decks that use a two-bolt attachment system so lower inventory costs for distributors and dealers.

Those are after market WH blades, not original ones, the fit many decks.

What I'm saying is, the picture from the sellers ad depicted a wheel horse clone.

Then whenever I received the package this is what I got, obviously after-market.

However it only irked me because the ad did not show these which is sort of deceptive.

Technically it's the correct part by part number and fitment but not a true clone.

(I did fit them so that is the marks on the paint)

Yes, lower inventory, cannot have huge inventory anymore, insurance makes it impractical, that and manufacturing limitations

Yes, Sears was good for having blades that fit almost anything all in one design, even before STENS
