  Such a bright, open, and clean part warehouse.

  I have an old Bobcat Zero Turn that I love! I got it for free because the deck bearing were all completely shot. So I rebuilt it with cheapo parts from Amazon and EBay. Primarily because at the time I got it. We desperately needed a good commercial grade mower but definitely couldn’t afford one. So it was a true blessing. But as a diesel mechanic. We have a saying…<br><br>“Big trucks, Big bucks!”<br><br>After getting a quote from Bobcat around $1,500 for new spindles, pulleys, belts and blades. I was able to fix it and get it mowing for $300 using cheap parts. Which I did plan to replace with genuine bobcat parts as they failed. <br><br>So… While the pulleys are cast iron and totally fine. The spindles and blades are another story. I had to buy a set of bobcat blades only half way through the season. And I had two blade spindles fail within a year. <br><br>So I definitely tell people to buy the OEM parts if you can. Because they usually are better parts. And typically are the best products for your machine

  I really really wish that you had a Michigan store. Now that I know how, &nbsp;I can&apos;t wait to buy blades

  For several years, up &nbsp;till when my dad got sick and passed away from Alzheimer&apos;s, we always used to use gator blades

  Interesting, never really changed my blades much, just kept them sharp. <br>But the design makes sense.<br>Even though I’ve fixed and sharpened hundreds of blades before

  Thank you for this info, it is good information to know as a homeowner and not a professional

  I have a new land pride finish mower. &nbsp;Have tried both the medium lift (standard) and mulching OEM blades over the past year. &nbsp;Both cut grass phenomenally. If I had to nit pick the plain blades are slightly better on grass.<br>I put the mulching blades on for fall/spring clean up…about to switch back over to the standard blades.<br><br>For those wondering the landpride finish mower can out-cut a zero turn to my eye. &nbsp;Yeah it’s not as fast but the quality of cut with a ‘floating’ deck is amazing…and I get to spend more time tractoring.
