I have the Euro YM14 with a Bar style blade conversion using standard push mower blades bolted to the centres of an old set of bar blades which works a treat, and is cheap to replace blades but if I mow anything other than clean twig free grass it eats through them. I wanted to go back to bar style blades but I cant really find anything that suits but thats not the main problem. The biggy is everything has a rear or right discharge which makes the fold on the blades wrong for me as I need left discharge. What I have done in the past is cut the lip off the blades and weld them on to suit left which works OK. I didn't want to do this with new bar blades to try and keep strength in them but it's proving to be a little difficult. What are other owners using and where are you getting them from? I think it's a YCM60 deck too.

Edit: I looked in the US and they can be had there but not here in Australia, I may have to buy in the US.

I took my second option for now and found one manufacturer with blades for left throw which is Greenfields. They basically bolted straight on but are separate blades and not a bar but works well cutting nice and close to the ground and are much more sturdy than push mower blades. Will keep searching I guess.
