27.5” mower blade

[Roy405]

Does anyone have any suggestions on getting a replacement blade on an old 13B-325-401 mtd riding mower? It's a 27.5” Single blade. Not made or carried anymore

742-0651 or 742-0651-0637 which is the 3-in-1 blade is available, but the other what looks like high lift is NLA.

You can cut down a longer bladeif you ar taking less than 1" off each end and you balance the blade when finished.
Most of the aftermarket blade suppliers have tables of blades by length
I just cut down a 30" blade to fit a 30" murry where the blades are marked as NLA
When you cut the end off you have to cut it back at a small angle so the end is not square and the cutting tip is around 85 to 88 deg not 90 deg

That’s what I’m looking to do. I see a 28” that only need to cut 1/2” each end. Thanks
