lowboy 1 #1 Posted May 26, 2014 can someone confirm a PN for blades for a 42" RD deck; number 15-42rc01? the toro site and others list blades, but then say "side" next to it (as in side discharge?) im confused and dont want to buy the wrong ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,515 #2 Posted May 27, 2014 I see Toro 106635 3-blade kit but also Toro 14-4879 kit for another $15. Possibly this last one is if the recycler baffles have been added as some models will take them. Belt chart that does have the odd mistake in it Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forest Road 594 #3 Posted June 19, 2014 There's typically a number stamped in the blades. May have to clean them to find it. That number is typically an Oregon part# Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt-NEPA 755 #4 Posted June 21, 2014 I just put a set of Toro 14-4879 blades on my 42 RD. They fit nicely. Much heavier blades than the Oregon blade that are commonly available. The 14-4979 is a 3 blade set (3 of part number 79-2920 blades). They are the 14-1/2 inch long blades for the rear discharge mower. I think the 42 SD takes a shorter blade. I'm not sure about the model number for my deck, but it came with my 1988 520H. All the 42RD models I could check took the same blades so I took a chance and everything is fine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
persof 14 #5 Posted June 23, 2014 My 42" Rd deck has blades marked REX805 and 105837. At the show I bought blades that I was told were for my deck and they say MDE8322 and 1108. My original blades are 14 3/16" long and these new blades are 13 7/8" long. I think I was lead astray. I cannot find a cross reference for the new blades or any info on who made them or what they actually fit??? Any Ideas? Thanks Francis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tankman 3,515 #7 Posted June 25, 2014 Parts Tree drawings and lists of part numbers are nice to reference too. http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=Toro+Consumer&mn=E5-48SC01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skrusins 128 #8 Posted June 26, 2014 Posted 16 July 2013 - 06:05 PM I bought and received today gator blades for my 42" RD deck the Oregon no. is 96-303. The Oregon site states the blades are 14 1/2" long with 3/4 in center hole.That was wrong. The center hole is .705", it was no problem to open the hole to 3/4". I use a drum grinder on a Dremmel and work great. As of today 4/27/2014 they work great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
over60pirate 24 #9 Posted July 2, 2014 I will remember that Oregon number ( 96-303) so I don't order them. When I order something, and it is wrong and doesn't fit, they can send me the correct ones, and pay for return shipping. Do you know the correct Oregon number for 42" rd blades Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
