These blades feature a 7-point star center hole to fit specified spindles, a curved 3-in-1 profile for repeated clipping circulation, and protective edge paint to reduce corrosion during storage and initial installation.

If you need precise counts for an application, contact us or ILONPA customer service for clarification before installation. The cutting edges are painted for corrosion protection and installer safety; this paint will abrade away quickly in initial use and does not affect blade performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this product for? Homeowners and small-property managers who maintain lawns with John Deere 100-series tractors or compatible EZtrak zero-turn mowers and who want a robust 3-in-1 blade option for mulching, bagging, or side discharge.
