Buying Mower Blades in Bulk

Posted on: March 21st, 2019 by usmb 2 Comments

Most commercial lawn mowers require two or three blades. When one of those blades breaks, it is a good idea to replace all the blades. This will ensure consistent wear of the blades as well as the mower. Replacing all the blades at one time, however, can be expensive — especially for contractors with large fleets of mowers.

Eagle Series Blades from USA Mower Blades

Posted on: May 24th, 2017 by usmb 3 Comments

Eagle Series Blades, exclusively from USA Mower Blades, are the ultimate 3-in-1 blade and are designed and manufactured for commercial use. Eagle Series Blades are high-quality toothed commercial lawn mower blades designed specifically for longevity and durability. These toothed blades can bag, side-discharge, or mulch grass clippings with a higher efficiency than standard, non-toothed blades.

 

USMB-JD-AM104490-003_03

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. The blade teeth do not have a cutting edge but are used to create extra lift, propelling grass clippings high into the mower deck. The angle of the teeth is designed to force the grass clipping back toward the cutting edge. When the grass clippings fall back through the mower deck and the blades, they will be cut again before landing on the lawn, discharged through the side, or collected for bagging.

 

 

Eagle Series Blades are toothed blades and are broken down into four categories depending on specifications: E6, E5, E4, and E3.

 

E6 – Eagle Series Blades – 3-inch width x 0.250 thickness

The E6 blades are the widest, thickest blades offered by USA Mower Blades. E6 blades are 3-inches wide and 0.250-inches thick. These extra-thick blades are heavy-duty and will tackle any lawn with ease. Designed for commercial applications, E6 blades offer unmatched durability and longevity. These toothed blades provide more lift and can be used for mulching, side-discharge, or bagging applications.

 

E5 – Eagle Series Blades – 3-inch width x 0.204 thickness

The E5 blades are 3-inches wide but only 0.204-inches thick. Designed for commercial applications, E5 blades offer excellent durability and longevity. These toothed blades provide more lift and can be used for mulching, side-discharge, or bagging applications.

 

E4 – Eagle Series Blades – 2-1/2-inch width x 0.250 thickness

The E4 blades are 2-1/2-inches wide and 0.250-inches thick. These extra-thick blades are heavy-duty and will tackle any lawn with ease.  Designed for commercial applications, E4 blades offer unmatched durability and longevity. These toothed blades provide more lift and can be used for mulching, side-discharge, or bagging applications.

 

E3 – Eagle Series Blades – 2-1/2-inch width x 0.204 thickness.

The E3 blades are 2-1/2-inches wide but only 0.204-inches thick. Designed for commercial applications, E3 blades offer excellent durability and longevity. These toothed blades provide more lift and can be used for mulching, side-discharge, or bagging applications.

How to Measure a Lawn Mower Blade

Posted on: April 14th, 2017 by usmb No Comments

Knowing how to properly measure a lawn mower blade will make it much easier to find the proper replacement. There are three major measurements to consider: length, width, and center hole. Other important measurements to note are thickness and distance between outer holes. Also take note of the center hole type and measurement.

 

LENGTH: Length is measured diagonally from one tip of the blade to the opposite tip of the blade. It is important to measure the length correctly. Measuring from end to end will result in the wrong blade length. All length measurements must be made diagonally.

 

WIDTH: The width of the blade should be measured at the widest and flattest part of the blade – typically near the center of the blade. The width can be measured normally from edge to edge.

 

CENTER HOLE: The center hole measurement will depend on the type of hole being used. There are several different types of center holes: round, fiveCenter Hole Graphic-point star, six-point star, seven-point star, rounded rectangle, and H-pattern also known as bow tie.

 

Round center holes should be measured for inner diameter. 5-point star, 6-point star, and 7-point star center holes will not have a measurement but will be denoted by name. H-pattern or bow tie center holes will also not have a measurement. H-pattern center holes will accommodate several different spindle types including 5-point star, 6-point star, or triangle spindles.

 

Rounded rectangle center holes will typically have two measurements, inner length and inner height. Most lawn mower blades will have round center holes.

 

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

Finding the Right Mower Blade

Posted on: January 20th, 2017 by usmb No Comments

Finding the right mower blade can be challenging. The problem with purchasing replacement lawn mower blades online is they all look the same. Not being able to pick up the new blade and compare it the old blade can be frustrating. That’s why USA Mower Blade is trying to take the guess work out of buying replacement blades. Need a new blade? Or three? Start here:

 

Original Equipment Manufacturer Number. The easiest way to find replacement lawn mower blades is with the OEM number. The OEM number is the numerical part number of the blade assigned by the manufacturer. In most cases, just typing this number with the manufacturer name into a search engine or online store will be enough to bring up some promising results. Don’t have the OEM number? Not to worry, it is easy to find. Check the manual that came with the mower.

 

Model Name and/or Number. Don’t have the OEM number or a manual? Manuals for most newer mowers can be found on the manufacturer’s website. Searching for the mower manufacturer and model number is an easy way to find the needed information.

 

Length and Center Hole. Without an OEM number, manufacturer name, or model number, it can be difficult, but not impossible, to find the right replacement lawn mower blade. There are two blade characteristics to look at: blade length and center hole design.

 

LAWN4The blade length should be measured diagonally from the opposite tip on each side. A blade that is too long will not fit under the deck while a blade that is too short will leave grass uncut. Finding the right blade length is very important.

 

The center hole is how the blade attaches to the spindle assembly under the mowing deck. There are several different types of center hole designs, including circle in various sizes, rounded rectangle, H-pattern, Y-pattern, and 5-point, 6-point, or 7-point star pattern. With the exact blade length and the correct center-hole pattern or size, it will be easy to identify the correct replacement lawn mower blade.
