48" Blades from Glen's

[tarcoleo 119]

Just opened a package from Glen's containing a set of blades for a WH 48" deck.

At least that's what I ordered. These measure 15-1/2" end to end. I believe they

should be 16-1/16" long. Did I get the wrong blades? Is there more than one size

for 48" decks?

Received a response from Glen's in which it is suggested that the proper way to

measure blade length is along the diagonal from corner to corner. When I do that with their blades I get 16-1/16", but only 15-1/2" lengthwise. The old blades on my three 48" decks are 16" lengthwise. So is their way correct, and are their blades not going to leave unmowed streaks?

I have a set with P/N 106078 stamped on the blades this P/N is a 48 inch blade. That is the correct way to measure them!! Only the tips of blades do the cuting.

That's the correct way as far as I know. It's the longest possible dimension.
