I know it probably has been asked before.Can you still buy the blades and bolts for the 160 mower? Is aftermarket available? Thanks Tracy

I'm in the same hunt myself. My blades are a bit worn, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to hot wrench the nuts off (and broke off the cotter pins, too). When I asked recently, I was told maybe Agco has the castellated nuts and bushings, but they're $$$. But the blades I don't recall an answer on.

Don't know if I posted on this before, but what I did, years ago, was to measure the drop, and the length, and match up as close as possible... IIRR, the drop is the limiting factor. Again, IIRR, original drop was like 4-1/2", and the closest I could find was 3-1/2"...
You might try agrisupply, they do have a big selection, and I didn't know about them, back then...  |

Quite a few years ago I bit the bullet and bought new from AGCO.

Don't tell anyone, but... When I was working on mine I took all the parts to the local John Deere dealer and they were able to match up everything I needed. There is a bushing in the blade they didn't have, but it matched up very close to a bearing lock collar and I've been using it like that for years now.

The bushing is pretty much the same, in almost all bush hogs 3/4" ID X 1-1/2" OD. thickness is a little thinner than the blade...

I honestly couldn’t answer that as it’s been probably ten years ago or more since I did that. The JD parts had to of been pretty reasonable if I bought them tho, if that helps.

Not sure on the serial number, but the closest parts manual I have seen is the diagrams in the manual.

No problem, just let me know when you get one off. I seem to visit the co-op quite often. Scott
