I tried them one year and went back to conventional high lift blades. I'm not an avid lawn mower and with Gator Mulcher blades, you have to stay with the mowing program or you get clumps of grass all the time.

Mowing the grass is low on my list of priorities.

This spring, while walking past my old cub cadet riding mower, I was at an angle where I could see the outer blade in the discharge chute.

I had to get down on my knees because I could not believe what I was seeing..... the outer Gator blade was upside down.

I cut grass for a full year with it that way and never noticed the difference.

Of course I blame the incorrect install on a helper :)

Dave - I think that’s the first mistake you’ve made in years.....some of the electrical things you help guys figure out amaze me....and it proves “your helper” is human too.....[emoji41]

Agri-Supply (ASC) has the full line of Gator Mulcher blades and ships to Canada.

I see Oregon part #96-803 for a 18.75" Gator blade with a 5/8" hole.

In Canada most shops selling riding lawn mowers and chain saws can order Oregon products.

If you provide the part number it makes it even easier for them.

Amazon.ca lists the blade.

https://www.amazon.ca/Oregon-96-803...?keywords=oregon+96-803&qid=1590679806&sr=8-1

Avoid importing blades if you can as the cost is much higher.

Go to the oregon Dealer locator web site. It will look like it only has American dealers.
https://www.oregonproducts.com/en/dealer-locator
Select Allow Location access.

Oregon then provides a list of local places to you selling their products

Beware: Oregon’s website posts contradictory information regarding determining if your blades are LEFT or RIGHT handed blades. They describe a method to determine with TEXT...then use a PIC which is labelled differently.

Dave,

I think you better sit down with that helper and give him a beer. And then give him all the instructions that he will need to the job correctly. And then tell him to get a wsm for the machine.:eek:
