Need source for blade drive pulleys for Rider 14 PRO with 41" deck-2000 model?

Jacks has canceled my order because the parts have been discontinued (I knew that 2 years ago but, Jacks still had them listed).

I just wanted to follow up with this thread: I found and purchased 6 of the blade drive sprockets I needed from Italy. They would not sell to USA due to the tariffs but, they would to a friend in Canada. So I worked out a deal and it worked! Cost me dearly but, not nearly as much as a new mower. I should be good now for 10-20 years!

IF we didn't have someone pissing off all our friends we wouldn't be having these problems.

Just had a go around with one of my distributors that jacked the price of MTD blades nearly 100% because of these darn tariffs. And I admit some of it is price gouging that going on too.

But in the long run we as Americans are paying these Tariffs [taxes] in the end as these OEMs must recover them through charging us more. And can't blame them as we all must make a profit.

One set of blades in particular went from $32 last year to $61 this year.

I ordered a set (3) for the Rider 14 PRO yesterday: $90.00.
