Mower deck blade size

Recommended Posts

I have a 78355 42" Recycler deck. The blade # is 14-4879. When researching this, I come up with 2 blade widths. 2" and 2.5". Which is correct or does it not matter?

Toro 3-blade kit 14-4879 replaces 116840, 79-2920 and 79-3070
Napa 3 of # 7-06767
Hole 3/4in. round
14.500in. 14-1/2" long

 

I do not know the blade width but probably does not matter.

The effective cutting diameter of rotary mower blades is measured on the diagonal from the tip of one cutting edge to the tip of the opposite cutting edge.  

 

A 2 1/2" wide blade will have a slightly larger cutting diameter than a 2"wide blade.

 

The spindle offsets in a 42" recycler deck should leave enough room between blades to use either width blade.
