...they do make a gator blade for it ...

Oregon as you found makes gator mower blades that will fit most everything. Just have to look them up.
Also from their link at the "where to buy" dropdown, you can find where to get them on line or at a local to you outlet...
If you can get the size you need in the Fusion blade:thumbsup:... Get it, some folks on this site do not understand hard surface steel, but they also have problems understanding synthetic oil so I am not too surprised. Get the Fusion surfaced blade You will appreciate the edge over a regular carbon steel blade. :smile:KennyV

I use the 3 in 1 blade

I will get a set of the fusion and see how they stand up.

I cut around 200 yards with the 3in 1 and sharping them 4 times.
I only sharping when needed and only replace when the back fin breaks or is about to.
In three weeks or 200 yards I will post back how they did.

(( racing is the only sport that you need two balls ))

You will like them, for the little bit of price increase you'll get a great hard surface... plus after you have worn away the HS there is Still a good carbon steel under it... :smile:KennyV

There going to make Gator Blades for about every mower made today but that doesn't mean they will work the way there designed to work and the fact they the Fusion Blades can cost about twice what the 3 in1 blades cost doesn't make them twice as good. The problem you will have is that if the engine on that craftsmen is the 140 cc the blades are not going to have enough BTS to work correctly. Your cut probably wont be as good as you have now. I've used the Gator Blades on all my mowers at one time or another 7 different mowers, self propelled included. I put them on mowers with the 190cc engine and guess what, They don't work, all they do is clump grass and make a mess because the mower doesn't have the BTS to discharge the grass fast enough or correctly. Now with the Turf-Master they work like a dream but that's with an 18 to 18500 BTS where there designed to work.

I've been thinking about trying one on my snapper hi vac with a 7HP Briggs intek. You think it would work ok on that? Do they work better with the mulching cover installed or with the side discharge chute? I'm still working on getting it running since I got it, so I haven't mowed with it yet, but the stock standard lift blade on it is pretty much shot.

I run then on my snappers and side discharge.
