546cowboy 302 #2 Posted July 6, 2012 Those blades are hard to find and more costly than 48" blades. I bought a 36" deck a couple years ago and refinished it. Luckily my local dealer who used to sell WH had two sets in stock. They listed for over $50 a set but he let me have them for less since I buy a lot of his older stuff. So I got lucky but I don't recall the number. Someone here will know and chime in. :eusa-think: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bowtiebutler956 650 #8 Posted July 7, 2012 There was a member here duelldanz that had a bunch of those blades for sale. Those are the same ones that I use on my B-80 36" deck. He quoted me a price of $39.55 for a set. You could try sending him a PM. Matt :flags-texas: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Napa center blade # 7-04530 Napa L & R blades # 7-04529 Garry It appears NAPA has a lot of small engine/OEM parts but remember, they may have a number but that doesn't mean they'll have it/be able to get it -- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
