Source for generic blades for John Deere

[acs55812]

I have a 4100 with a Mid mount mower model "54 cut", is there a generic source for blades or do I need to go to Deere?

Part Details

Description: Cut Performance Blade for¬ 54 In. Mower

At 14.40 each the dealer price seems hard to beat

Opps that will teach me to assume that Deere is high priced.

Lately, I have been surprised at some of JD prices. I still find that the parts that are only made for JD, unlike belts, blades, oil filters etc. are still the eye openers. Did you ever break a part & think, this is going to be expensive & found it to be more than reasonable? Or break another & send the wife in, telling her it will be less than 20 bucks & she comes home & says--so much for your 20 bucks, it cost 50!
