Thanks Rick, I wasn't sure. I've been told but no one every took the time to tell me what I needed to know. That shouldn't be hard to do. New blades are really hard to come by though. From what I understand, they are no longer available from Toro. I just wondered if there are any aftermarket blades out their that might work as well.

The 4116 and 4117 blades are no longer available from Toro but you should still be able to get them by using 8014 for a blade set. Toro has really missed the boat by not making this change to the parts lists. This is not the only deck they missed either.

daniel, i got these blades from glen's surplus in july. just search for glen's surplus, type in 91-801 in the quick search box and see if that's what you're looking for. i have a rmr3661 deck and it takes #4116 and 4117 blades. denny.
