Rear Finish Mower Woods Rm990

[lt190b]

Buy a set of blades for an RD990.

RickB, is the idler pulley on the rd990 on the opposite side of the drive pulley as the rm990? If so would the rm990 still not mow very good. Maybe someone put the rd gearbox on the rm?

Post the model # and ser. # of the mower. We know it's a 990 but it well look something like this RM990-?. Also is that a model # plate on top of that gear box? I'm also have the same ? as IT190b on the spring loaded idler. The rm is on the side and the rd on the other side. The rd has a smaller pinion gear,so maybe the pulleys are a little larger to make up the blade speed.

Someone painted over the plate so I can't get the model #

The only thing I know about an RD990 is the blades are a mirror image of those used on an RM990. Had a customer buy a set of RM990 blades from me for the RD990 he bought somewhere else. His results were like yours. But he knew it all, right up to the point where he figured it out.

Thanks RickB....I might have to try the RD990 blades before I go and invest 400 on a new gear box

Did you pull the cover off to see where the pinion gear is?
