Gator Mulching blades are uniquely designed to direct grass clippings back into the cutting path resulting in finer grass clippings for quicker decomposition. Since John Deere never made a mulching kit for the 50 mowers these Gator blades are very popular as these Gator blades are the only option for an alternative to the mulching kit. These brand new, uninstalled blades are MADE IN THE USA by Oregon! The blades are 17 3/16 long and have a 11/16 round hole in the center.  Thanks for looking and please check out my feedback and other auctions. Here are several reasons why I think G6 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 out the side. 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 side, 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 The cutting edge of the Gator blade has a hard surfaced treatment Oregon refers to as Fusion. The process fuses tungsten carbide into the cutting edge resulting in a longer lasting cutting edge.6 Made in the USA7 You get all this for a price that is usually much lower than the OEM replacement blade!
