Take one of the blades into your local NAPA or Auto Parts store, they have a special "Power Equipment" catalog that has most everything for small engines and mowers in it, plus the blades. They can match the length (always measured diagonally) and hole size for you, and have it come in on their daily/weekly delivery, you don't have to pay that big shipping charge then, and they are usually give you best low prices for blades.
Best to have all three blades identical, but I don't really think it would make a measurable difference, unless the other two are really worn bad.
The best blades to get are the "Gator Blade" series, much better "throw" and smaller clippings, and don't cost much more (google it).

 

Probably need new belts (WH numbers):

657 Drive Belt - #9691 (1/2" wide, 5/16 thick, 70" long)

WH Mower Blades: 32" *327 -- #8777, 36" *367 -- 8014, 42" *426 -- #100200

Spindle Drive Belt: #1578 (3/8 wide, 7/32" thick, 39" long)

Mower Drive Belts:  RL367 -- #1587 (43"), and RM327 or RM367 -- #7430 (28")

Always best to use the Wheel Horse/TORO belts, they have special angles = longer life, well worth the 15% premium.

On the blades that tractor would have came with a gear drive deck, it will have right and left blades so when your looking be sure to get the right side(correct) or buy a pair, the cutting edge will be on opposite sides.

If thats a 6hp Tecumseh HH60 (looks like it is) it should have a Champion RJ8C according to the Tecumseh Quick reference

Here's a link to a spark plug cross reference otherwise.
