Lawn Mower Blades Have Replaceable Inserts

Lawn Mower Blades Have Replaceable Inserts FARM HOME Lawn Mowers (31h,38) 27-4-29 If you dread sharpening and balancing your lawn mower blades, you'll be interested in this new blade that's designed with a pair of reversible, replaceable inserts. "The blade and inserts together provide longer life per cutting edge, making them more economical in the long run," says Lee Duncan, Cutmore Blade Co., Lewistown, Ill. The inserts are double-edged so you can reverse them without removing the blade. Each insert has two large holes and two small holes. The big holes fit over pegs on the blade. Flat-headed allen screws fit into the smaller holes. You can reach under the deck and flip the inserts without removing the blades. The blades are available for all rotary mowers. "We make blades from 14 in. to more than 30 in. long," says Duncan. Another big advantage is that the blades always stay in balance because you're not taking any material off the blade. Mulching and high-lift blades are available as well as a blade designed for use in sandy soils. Blades sell for $1 per inch. For example, a 22-in. blade sells for $21.95 plus S&H. Standard blade inserts sell for $5.95 a pair. "When you order, we need to know the length of the blade and the diameter or shape of its center hole," says Duncan. Standard replacement blade inserts sell for $5.95 a pair. "That's usually less than the cost to re-sharpen and rebalance an ordinary blade," says Duncan. "If the inserts get dull, you can sharpen them at least one time." Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Cutmore Blade Co., 14310 E.
