I've got a Craftsman 46" mower but it's made by Husqvarna.
So I found these mulching blades:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stens-340-0...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649
Ordinarily I'd contact to contact the seller but Ebay says "due to high volume of questions, they are not taking questions" or something. But they are cheaper than the ones I bought last spring and made by Stens so I figured I'd buy these.
The thing is, not only does this listing say my mower takes 3 blades so does another listing. My 46" mower takes 2 blades. The easiest thing to do is just measure the length of the blade and if it's 15" then I know it's the same blade.
The question is, are these some 46" decks that require three blades? That doesn't make sense. I'm confused.
I've got to be more careful mowing my yard. I pick up rocks, large sticks and other stuff my daughter throws out in the yard but the other day I ran off my driveway at the bottom of my driveway and bent the end of one of my new mulching blades I installed this spring along with a new spindle. So after the loud noise, the right hand blade started scalping my yard a bit.
So I pulled both blades off and laid them on top of each other and sure enough the right hand blade was bent downward about an inch. I managed to straighten it out in my bench vice and got it close enough to the other blade and went on a test mow. I can't tell that it's scalping the yard but I thought I'd order some new blades and keep them on hand.
I felt around the bottom of the spindles and can't tell that I've cracked another one. Hopefully.
Just curious about the # of blades required for mowers with 46" decks.
