slammer302 2,156 #3 Posted March 28, 2016 I also like the high lift gator blades my dad has a set on a 36'' RD and you see the grass get pulled up as it cuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,513 #4 Posted March 28, 2016 If you need blades with a 5/8" x 3/4" double-D center hole you may be out of luck. We just discovered the normal suppliers are not reproducing them. The later decks use a 3/4" round center hole and the blades are available. There is a spacer/bushing to convert a 5/8" x 3/4" double-D blade to a 3/4" spindle but have no idea how that works. How do you slip a 5/8" wide hole over a 3/4" spindle?

cleat 7,289 #5 Posted March 28, 2016 Funny, the double D blade set for 42" is readily available but not for the 48". All of mine are using the round bore later model blades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rexman72 210 #6 Posted March 28, 2016 I just went through this and had to change the spindles to 3/4 inch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garry It is probly a 3/4" nut with a 5/8" reduced end , on the other end ,, so you screw it on spindle shaft tighten it then screw the blade on it.. Would be my guess..
