Thanks John.

Give Hewlett Equipment a call. Im pretty sure I saw some on display. Dont know what size or anything but worth the cost of a phone call.

Hey Danz,

Is the cutting edge wearing or the gator teeth?

Yes and no. If your blades are the same length, hole, off set etc it should be ok. Hustlers "branded" blades are Oregon Fusion. Oregon make Gator blades as well. Hustler put them on the mulching set ups I think.
You may have an issue if you want the anti clockwise rotating blade you use on the GHS Walker setup though.
Just give them a call and tell them the spec's your after and see how you go.
Ive definitely seen them there!

No worries Mick, Strange as it is, I have found them in Aus for the GHS deck which counter rotate but not for the 52" side discharge. Some on US ebay but he wont ship here.

Search for Mick and Mack on ebay. They are based in Ayr N.Q. I got some blades for my Toro. ASP don't have them to my knowledge, only for 72 inch.

Yes but he doesn't have gators for my application, only standard type blades. Have found a US supplier with good freight price but might try some meg-mo blades now.

Anyone using Oregon g5 or g6 mulching blades? If so how do you find them lasting, actual cut results, and where do you get them from?

81598160I got the Gator blades but they are the wrong type?????
The Gravley blades have a raised center section.
The gator blades are just straight...
WTF?
any one got any ideas?

hi imoww,

didnt you check the model before buying it? my gator g5 fitted perfectly.
probably not even worth to return it due to high freight cost

Hi Jal2007 - I checked it but didnt realise the original blades are that weird shape.
Its about 5 mil out.Might be able to slip a washer in spacer in there....

I made mine out of 8mm Perspex, that's as much as the shaft would allow.
