I have two woods mowers. A RM660 on a Jubilee and a L306 on an IHC. The RM660 was leaving a narrow strip of grass between where blades overlapped. About 1/2 inch of the tips of the blades were dull and rounded off a little. Rest of the blade was good looking and sharp. Blades aren't that old.
That's when I discovered there are replacement blades with the same woods model number# but two different lengths, 24 5/16 and 24 11/16. That's when I ordered a set of longer blades. In the mean time I got the mig welder out and made my old blades longer, 24 11/16. They work just fine, no narrow strip of grass left behind. Fixed the rounded ends too.
Well I noticed my L306 could use a longer blade too. So guess what? So far I found there are two different blade lengths for that mower too, with the same woods number. One is 24 7/16 the other 24 1/2. Not really that much difference like the 3/8 inch difference in the RM 660 blades.
I'm still looking for a longer blade for the L306.
Has anyone experienced the slight diffference in blade lengths? Does anyone have a source for even longer blades for my L306? I hate to think I'll have to weld up the ends on my L306 blades. They are like new.
I know what some of you are thinking, BIG DEAL. But when the ends are rounded off just a little, there isn't very much room for overlap, it will leave a very narrow strip of grass uncut, especially when turning. thanks, George

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
