APPALACHIAN EDGE 18 #1 Posted May 14, 2018 Hi guys, it's been around 7 yrs since I've been on this sight some of the members I recognize & a ton of new ones. After some struggles & a lot of unavoidable changes I'm finally in a position to own another herd, small but enough for my physical & financial ability to handle these days! I'm learning to navigate the square again slowly so bare with me & my mistakes please!, (at least my caps aren't stuck in lock position anymore) lol some of you may remember that! i need help with a RM425 deck I recently purchased , I need replacement blades but all I can find are 42 in ? My deck is 38 or less (exact measurements to follow later) Im beginning to wonder if the tag has been replaced? I want to add that it's great to have the good friends of likeminded people to turn to for help,support & general all around enjoyment of the Redsquare sight!!!😃 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,489 #2 Posted May 14, 2018 RM-425 RM = rotary mower 42 = 42" width of cut 5 = 1965 The original 5879 blade replaced by 100201 3-blade kit and no longer available (Hole 5/8in.x3/4in. Double-D) You may find some old stock somewhere. I do not know the length of the original blades. Measurements are normally taken diagonally from tip to tip.

APPALACHIAN EDGE 18 #5 Posted May 15, 2018 Thanx guys for the welcome backs! If what gwest has posted is the formula for the model number then the tag had to have been replaced ! I'll try to post pics w/exact measurements shortly... Thanx again my equine friends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,489 #8 Posted May 16, 2018 Thought I spotted a mistake. I posted that the RM-425 used blade set 100201. The original blade in 1965 was #5879 which was replaced by the 100201 3-blade set. The RL-426 in 1966 used blade #6693 which was replaced by 100200 3-blade set. This is correct if you use the mower blade charts published by Wheel Horse. There must have been a difference in the sets but likely insignificant.
