Geochurchi 3 #3 Posted June 6, 2015 Hi, the model # 13-38 XL and the serial # is 6905222.Thanks for the reply.Geo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,510 #4 Posted June 6, 2015 The serial number tells us it is a 1996 model. On the same ID decal there should be a model number 71185 or 71205 and they use different blades.Model 71185 came with a recycler deck and uses blade number 79-3061 - 2 requiredModel 71205 came with a side discharge deck and uses blade number 57-4700 - 2 requiredMentioned the quantity because some blades come in a set and you order 1 set.Blades are listed as being 19.32" long which should be the diagonal length tip to tip.Post the model number when you find it and will try to link you to the correct manuals.Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
