Not So Pro 3

Yep. Like these.
Rustiest set are the originals when we bought the mower in April. I may keep them for a "get by" set, but theyre pretty well shot.

Earlier I was referring to the ‘three separate finger’ hi- lift blades...not a solid high lift like you pictured. My rider and push mower mulch a helluva lot better with the separate finger lifts on the ends. But I ain’t got no machine like you got either, so those will prob last a heap longer under that motor/rpm load.

Obviously not 12/3, or 12/2 and a ground if ya wanna term it that way, Romex. That *s-wordt looks about like 14ga at best now that I look at the pic again.

It's a trailer
Whatever *s-word they put in them to save money.

Those blades are still good.
The ends are still square and no splits/cracks.
When your 42" deck only cuts 36" then it's time to replace.

I’ve ran across many of that *s-wordt here doing switch replacing/outlet replacing, etc for folks in older trailers/mfg homes. Code allowed that *s-wordt many yrs ago here in Ga, obviously there as well. Not sure what the codes are now here, nor for how many yrs, when it comes to trailers, but hopefully it’s the same as a site-built /stick-built home...12/3.

Edited for accuracy. And don't even try and deny it.

@Czed ...I’m sure you’ve run across this *s-wordt as well. Trailer and mobile home water piping ain’t no regular sched 20 or 40 PVC diameters...and it ain’t PEX in those older trailers using crimp rings. Luckily a local HD and a Lowe’s carry some pipe/coupling/fittings, etc to get by with. If not...you gotta go to a mobile home place, and there ain’t but two around here...one in Macon, Ga, one in Cordele, Ga...to get what you need. And they proud as hell of it.

Try finding a damn door for a trailer at HD or Lowe’s... now the couple of mobile home places gotcha by the balls!

This *s-word
Before pex existed
i had a girlfriend she just bought a nice trailer
and I picked up 2 fittings to fix two leaks.
The goddamn mice had eaten 6 or 7 more holes by the time I came back to fix it.
It's like crack cocaine to mice a contractor told me.
I ripped all that *s-word out and sweated copper for the whole place.

I was wrong. The rusty set is the 2nd set. Originals are on now, and probably done for by the time I get there this weekend to change em and service it. These are all ready to go back.

There was a guy with ocd
That had a kubota with a mower
that gives me his blades after one or two mows
Like 18 blade's or so
Not even rusted
The thick flat heavy duty blades
Not cheap.
He swears they don't cut right
I give them to my nephew for his kubota.
He's on the first set I gave him two year's ago.

Just so happens I'm trailer trash meself.
This one has been HEAVILY modified now, but it still came here with axles.
That water supply line is a generic form of "quest" piping.
The New Pex stuff is way more GOODER.
Also, it had standard switches and receptacles. They were cheap, and have since been replaced. All circuits WERE 15 amp, with 14 gauge wire, except the dedicated circuits for washer and refrigerator.
Ive upgraded everything except a few lighting circuits I cant get to up to 12 gauge wire.

Sweet deal.
Those arent cheap.
They went up for the Dixie Chopper I have here. Last set I bought was $60.
That thing EATS blades. Lots of dirt, rocks, and sand here, plus the blade tip speed on that thing is REALLY fast. It'll suck the gravel up out of the driveway...

I use a Dremel 400 XPR or a Dremel 4000 with course drum wheels and three-foot flex shafts to re-sharpen my blades. Rarely will I use one of the 4” angle grinders. I’ll vice ‘em horizontal, and I’ve got a helluva lot of better control with the Dremel set-ups. A couple of these blades I still re-sharpen have been around since summer of ‘16. But I did just order two new same Rotary blades for the Husky push mower.
