Set of 3 Oregon brand Gator blades for the 44" "Piranha" Mower deck on John Deere models LX172, LX173, LX176, LX178, LX186, LX188, GT242, GT262, GT275 325 and 345 as well as some others. Please read this entire listing to be sure you correctly identify your mower deck as these same models could also have a 2 blade 38" mower or a 3 blade 48" mower. The 44" Piranha mower deck is easily distinguishable as it does not have a side discharge. The first noticable benefit is that you can trim using either side as the deflector chute does not contract obstructions and it greatly reduces how much grass clippings are blown on to side walks, driveways, flowerbeds, etc. The 44" Piranha was made primarily as a mulching mower but a plastic baffle could be removed for discharging grass clippings out the rear. These particular blades are designed to replace the original criss-crossed mulching blade and improve performance when rear discharging by increasing air flow towards the rear discharge opening. They replace John Deere part number M121589.Here are several reasons why I think the Gator Blades are the best blade for your mower.1 Gator blades are designed to recirculate the grass clipping into the cutting path resulting in finer clippings for quicker decomposition. This decomposition adds nutrients back into the soil quicker and is less likely to develop diseases that thicker clippings may develop.2 Unlike a mulching kit, gator blades still discharge grass clippings. This has several benefits. With a mulching kit it is recommended that the operator only cut off a 1/3 of the grass at a time. Crowding the mulching kit can leave clumps of grass lay behind because the mulching kit cannot handle a large amount of material. Since the Gator blade disperses clippings out the rear, it had handle thicker and heavier grass.3 The Gator blade is wider and in some cases thicker than the standard blade. This results in a stronger, longer lasting blade.4 The G6 Gator blades have a longer cutting edge than most standard blades. This also aids in finer clippings and superior cut.5 You get all this for a price that is usually much lower than the OEM replacement blade!We strive to provide the highest quality of service found on ebay.
