Posted on: November 9th, 2017 by usmb No Comments

USMB-AYP-844BP_01

The USA Mower Blades line up is always expanding. The newest mower blade to be added is the USMB-AYP-844BP. The 844BP is a toothed mower blade and part of the Eagle Series line up. Eagle Series Blades, exclusively from USA Mower Blades, are the ultimate 3-in-1 blade and are designed and manufactured for commercial use. These toothed blades can bag, side-discharge, or mulch grass clippings with a higher efficiency than standard, non-toothed blades.

 

Toothed lawn mower blades are 3-in-1 blades designed for discharge, bagging, and mulching. Toothed blades, while not always true mulching blades, are better for mulching than standard high-lift blades. Eagle Series Blades are toothed blades and are broken down into four categories depending on specifications: E6, E5, E4, and E3.

 

The 844BP is an E3 – Eagle Series Blade. E3 blades are the thinnest blades in the Eagle Series line but offer excellent durability and longevity. The trade-off for thickness is a discount on USA Mower Blades’ already low prices.

 

The 844BP will fit certain AYP®, Craftsman®, Husqvarna®, and Poulan® lawn mowers. Two (2) blades are required for 38-inch decks. This blade fits OEMs: 12784, 127842, 134148, 138497, 138970, 139774, 193957, 532134148, 532138497, 581116302, 532127842, 532134148, 532139774.

Dump the Dull Blades

Posted on: August 24th, 2017 by usmb No Comments

Grass Blade Infor Graphic

Dull lawn mower blades can affect not only the look of the lawn but also the health of the grass. Dull lawn mower blades do not cleanly cut the blades of grass. Instead, the grass is ripped or torn, resulting in a jagged edge. This jagged edged will brown within days, causing an uneven look to a recently cut lawn. The jagged edges also present an easy way for disease and parasites to enter the grass. 

 

The dull edge of the lawn mower blade will pull at the grass, tearing the individual blades rather than cutting through them. This results in a longer mowing time and more strain on the lawn mower. The grass will momentarily wrap itself around a dull blade before it rips or tears. This causes unnecessary strain on the lawn mower and can result in a shortened operating life or damage to the mower components.

 

After mowing, take a close look at the cut blades of grass. If the tips of the blades are jagged or torn, it is time to either sharpen the blades or purchase new ones. Blades should be inspected and sharpened after 10 hours of mowing.

 

Grass that is cut with sharp blades can recover quickly and is more likely to resist disease and pests. Grass cut with sharp blades will also result in a beautiful looking lawn. The cleanly cut blade of grass will hardly yellow or discolor and the plant is able to heal quickly and continue growing.

 

Mowing the grass is just like pruning a tree or bush. Use the right equipment in the proper way and the plant will continue to thrive and grow. Using equipment that has not been maintained is an easy way to invite disease and pests that will ruin the look, and the health, of even the most well-maintained lawn.

Center Holes

Posted on: July 18th, 2017 by usmb No Comments

holes_2
Most lawn mower blades have a round center hole that is used to connect the blade to the spindle. When the center hole is round, matching a replacement blade is relatively easy. Simply measure the inner diameter of the hole. If the original blade has side holes (smaller holes next to the main center hole), be sure to take this into account. Side holes will almost always be round. If the original blade has side holes, the replacement blade must also have side holes to attach securely to the spindle.

 

These outer holes are measured two different ways— individual diameter and the space between the holes. Measure the inner diameter of the side holes the same way as a center hole. The correct way to measure the distance between the outer holes is from the center of one hole to the center of the other hole.

 

Other popular center hole designs include 5-point star, 6-point star, 7-point star, and rectangular.

5-point star, 6-point star, and 7-point star center holes will not have a measurement but will be denoted by name. These blades will fit the specific matching spindles. Some blades will have an H-pattern or bow tie center hole. This type of center hole will fit 5-point, 6-point, and triangular spindles. H-pattern or bow tie center holes will also not have a measurement.

 

Rounded rectangle center holes will typically have two measurements, inner length and inner height.
