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 ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |

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...

Where is the serial number on these mowers? Does anyone have a parts manual of one? Thanks Tracy ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |

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. |

No problem, just let me know when you get one off. I seem to visit the co-op quite often. Scott ------------- Allis Chalmers still exist in my mind and barns |
