Lawn Mower Blades

gravitytolls

I snapped mine on a golf ball :mad:, but replacement blades for a McCulloch seem pretty high, especially for an elderly machine.

do the blades have to be specifically for that mower, or are there generic/universal blades?

There seems to be some commonality between makes that are part of the same group (e.g. Bosch/Atco/Qualcast and Husqvarna/McCulloch), but they seem to use such a wide variety of fixings that I've never seen generic ones - though I have seen unbranded copies.

It does seem to me a bit of a con to charge £20 for a piece of pressed steel when the whole mower (in the case of my Bosch) only cost £100...

This site gives you an idea of how many different types of blades there are for mowers. https://www.mypartspartner.co.uk/shop/action/category_61_-1_14602_435740_0_Make

Find the make, model, year, etc and then get the part number and google it, you may find a cheaper version under the same number.

At the risk of stating the obvious, it is part of the income stream. A printer is often sold at cost price, they make money on the refills. A lawn mower would be sold at a profit, but who compares the price of replacement blades when buying?
