67 Lawn Ranger Mower Deck Blades

[MSBiker 46]

Well it looks like I'm out of luck. I have been looking for blades for my Lawn Ranger and having zero luck. I have tried Wheel Horse part numbers 7908, 7909. Toro part numbers 8777, and 53322 and no one has anything like this. I was thinking about doing a cut down, but finding right hand and left hand blades seems to be the problem. 

Anyone making blades, constructing blades, got a work around, etc? My blades are usable, but that is about it.

Have you dealt with this on your Ranger?

8014 is the 36" blade set

5-3322 is the 32" RD gear driven mower deck model available after Lawn Ranger production ended

5-2362 is the last 36" RD gear driven mower deck available

Notice the 32 and 36 in the deck model numbers

Took awhile to get brain cells fired up and sort through parts storage.  Several years ago  WH stopped selling the blades individually.  The pair became Blade Kit 8777  that MAY have been renumbered to toro 53322

I have an LR deck sitting in the “pending” project list. It’s a 32” and the blades still have some life to them. 

Last year I picked up via the forum Classifieds an NOS set of 36” blades for the gear deck on the 854 so I’m ready when the current blades reach end of life.

I, too, have spent time looking for other sources of these blades and have found them on eBay and a couple of online parts places. They will be pricey. As @MSBiker notes, the counter-rotating style is not common. After the gear decks, WH stopped making them. JD did make one deck that I know of that used them, but with a very different splined center mount hole.

I bought mower blades last summer for my 654 & RJ decks from Brian @ K&B Wheel Horse. His prices were very reasonable & he ships right away.
