Thanks LD1,
I made it through last season as is. I hope you can help me identify the make and model from the pics I provided.

No idea on model. But it really don't matter who made it.

You may find it best to load on trailer and have a shop replace the blades. Large impact wrench helps. As have been said in some words the brand is not so important for gear box and blades be used in more than few brands. I would think a decent shop unless real issue could change those blades within an hour.

It could be a 5' Walco Whistler. Are those vertical angle-iron pieces original or welded on after-market?

Just for consideration. My Woods BM manual says to replace the hardware along with changing the blades. I mention this because you might want to change the bolts, etc that hold the blades. - can't really offer an opinion on the blades not knowing the history

They appear to be original. Four on one side and 2 on the other. Here is another shot. I can take more pics if you would like. There is 20% of a decal left on the deck and it appears to be a W

Thanks for this

Yes I will as soon as I have the make so that I order the correct components

You should be able to take the blade measurements and find a similar blade to install. Basically all you need is the amount of drop in the blade and the length of the blade from the center of the hole and the size of the hole. New bolts is a good idea but I usually just install them 180 degrees from original so that there is a new surface to wear on. That is if the bolts aren't totally worn out to begin with. If that's the case then install new bolts.

Just checked with Walco and unfortunately it is not one of theirs.

This maybe my only option as no one can identify the beast.
Thanks
