XT2 Enduro GX54D Blade Mod: Replacing Fast Attach for Star Stud.

[VirginiaIron]

My yard has lots of debris and my blades wear significantly. I change blades often. I'm looking at the costs of the GX54D fast attach replacement blades and the cheapest I've found is $32 for each blade. I see 9 blades with the star center for $90 and a 3 piece deck star spindle replacement kit for $110. I would rather have several sets of the bolt on blades than the $100 sets of fast attach.
Has anyone replaced the fast attach system for a different blade?

Thanks

You need to change out the whole spindle assemblies but this possible if you don't mind the initial conversion costs. This due to spindle housings being a different design. And if spindles comes with pulleys you probably need to reuse the pulleys that your mower has as I showing 5.57" pulleys vs the old 6.3" pulleys.

Plus it would not hurt to clean up your lawn.
