Geochurchi 3 #1 Posted May 3, 2016 My Wheelhorse is a mdl# 71185 which is supposed to be a recycler deck how ever it has a side discharge, which blade should I use ? As it is right now the bags never fill so I would assume I need 57-4700 (2). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,498 #2 Posted May 3, 2016 I suspect the 79170 recycler kit is what makes the 71185 tractor and mower a recycler model. Going to guess those parts should be removed if you are using a bagger for more output force. Is the bagger a 6 cu ft Easy-Empty or 9 cu ft twin-bagger? I think you are correct on the 57-4700 blades if the recycler kit is not used. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geochurchi 3 #3 Posted May 3, 2016 Not sure the bag capacity,but I find it strange that that a mower with the bags also has the recycler kit installed,I bought this mower years ago and never realized the difference,always had problems with the bagging,I think I will try the different blades and see what happens.

Tankman 3,515 #4 Posted May 8, 2016 Some time back, a customer complained to his dealer ' out his new tractor and SD deck. Dealer responsible to check the deck then install on a tractor. This dealer mounted the deck without checking it. Fixed now, blades were on, from the factory, upside down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
