Gator Blades for ZT1 50?

You should put in Old style spindles just to buck the system.
LoL.

the down side of thisis you will need to buy the blade from them & not Amazon or ebay and that appears to be against the religion of a lot who post here.

So true......

I've been using Oregon 598-064 Mulching Gator Blades for three years with excellent results in my ZT1 50" deck. The blades sit just a tad lower to the ground but not too low. I thought I would have a selection available by now but this and two offered by CC are it, as far as I know

Excellent results would be bagging IMO.

They might last longer too. LOL

Actually all you have to do is change out the spindle shaft. Otherwords replace the 738-06255 with the 753-06348 spindle shaft kit. And then install 6 point star blades.

Well thats good to know! Price is not too bad. Is the shaft a press fit on bearings? Or slip?

Is there any problem with the offset using the Copperhead 16080 blades?

No. The ones I use fit perfectly as they are an OEM replacement.
