GT235: Mower Deck/Mower Vibration After Installing Oregon G5 Gator Blades

[kthompson]

Is there any chance the holes in the blades are just a little large allowing the blades not to be centered? Is it possible the holes are not in the center of the blades either side to side or lengthwise?

Good thought. I think I’m squared away at this point. I bought a balancing tool, put new bolts in… the deck is pretty quiet!

Since we are talking mower blades, does anyone know where I can find a left hand (CCW rotation) blade equivalent to Oregon 396-612 specs? This is for my finish cut AMF 4214 Landpride mower. IMO, The OEM blades are not beefy enough for the machine. I have searched high & low and I just can't find them. Oregon does not make them and I have struck out with other searches. Attached are the specs of the Oregon 396-612 RH cut blade.

Maybe?
