(ET) Fw: Mower blades!

["Herb Crary" <jhcrary comcast net>]

Most of the mower blades for my E10M which I have gotten for years have come 
with a center hole just a little too large. I don't remember the 
measurements. Fortunately, my son-in-law, a mechanic, found that the tubing 
used in an auto radio antenna was exactly the right diameter and thickness 
to make a perfectly fitting bushing for these blades. I still have the 
leftover tubing, from which I cut a section whenever needed. Look into this 
to see if one will fit your blades.

Don't weld.  Just make a bushing that is ever so slightly thinner than the 
blade.  The friction discs should work OK.

I have been toying around with the idea of purchasing a set of Wheel Horse 
14-1/2" mower blades, $ 22.98 @ Glens surplus.  These blades have a center 
whole of ¾" and would need to be modified. I am thinking of filling in the 
whole with my mig welder and then re-drilling for the 5/16" that our decks 
use.



Has anyone else been successful in this type of thing?
