Lawn Mower Blades

[lakehouse_dreaming]

I hit a root that was surfacing while mowing the yard last night and bent one of the blades on my zero turn. It is a John Deere Z530M 60" deck (wrong color I know). When I went online to find replacement blades I couldn't find anything other than the OEM blades for it. I ended up picking up some from the JD dealership here in town but I would like to find some non OEM blades to use next time.

The blades are 20 15/16" long and have a 51/64" center hole. I can find blades that are the correct length but the center hole is either to big or too small. Is there an adapter kit you can purchase to use a blade with larger center holes?

There are many blade manufacturers, and you usually get what you pay for. I suggest asking the dealership about quantity pricing. I believe firmly that the prices for consumables (blades, oil/air/fuel filters, belts, etc. aren't going to drop.

That doesn't say what length those blades are, the Z530M is offered in a 48", 54", and 60" deck which would all three take different length blades. In theory I could put the blades for a 48" deck on my 60" but that would bring a whole different level of striping yards into play.
