JCD 76 #1 Posted June 6 Hey guys, I've got a 312-8 from 1990 with a 37" side discharge deck that has a double bagger. My blades are cutting poorly and I need to find some kind of replacement, do you think these medium lift blades would work with my bagger? https://www.amazon.com/Stens-Medium-Lift-Blade-350-157-109918/dp/B001OK4H5Y If not what blades would work, I can't afford to buy what's on there as 300.00 for the pair is to far out of my pocket. Can I take normal blades and measure and drill carefully and bolt on the wings to make it high lift? Thanks, Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clueless 3,181 #2 Posted June 6 The OEM lift blade has a fairly larger wing on it, it needed for that deck to throw the grass far enough to the bag, a set of high lift blades ain't going to do that well, trust me. Also are the old blades the original blades? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCD 76 #3 Posted June 6 Thanks for the reply Chris, have you tried hi or med lift blades? I don't need to get every bit of grass into the bags I'd just like the majority of it so I can composte it for the garden, I have to mow about 3 acres and I hate to just leave it in the yard or mulch it. I have no clue if the blades are original I would assume that in 30 years they problably got changed a time or two. I can't tell until I get back up to VA to look at them.
