Re: (ET) E20 Mulching Leaves

[Barry Woods <barry woods wright edu>]

Yes.  Steve S. made bushings  that reduced the 5/8" hole of the  
GatorBlades.

The blades that fit are for the DixieChopper,  part number  90414.     
These would probably be too large if you have baffles in your deck.   
They have a 42" set for Toro that is slightly shorter and might work  
if you have the internal baffles.
