Oregon 92-616 G3 Gator Blades for 48" John Deere deck. New in box.
These G-series blades are better than OEM blades in every respect. They are much thicker, they have a 6" cutting surface (twice the size of the 3" cutting surface of the OEM blades), and behind the cutting edge the G3 has sharp raised teeth to mulch the cut grass and propel it forcefully out from under the deck. I took that last photo for comparison so you can see this.
Specifications:
Blade Width - 2.50"
Blade Thickness - 0.187"
Blade Length - 17"
Center Hole Size - 7 point 'star' - THIS IS THE CRITICAL THING TO NOTICE
OffSet - 1/4"
Air Lift - 3/4"

I'm selling these brand new blades because I bought them before I took off the deck and saw exactly what the old blades were like. It's not a terrible thing to take off a deck, but you can figure on most of the morning to get it back on with new blades. Not something you do every day, and I'm busy.
These Oregon blades DO fit newer versions of the 48" deck on my x324 - just not my 2006 model. Mine has a 13/16" round centering hole, while these blades have this 7-point 'star' at the center. You can see it in the photo of the comparison of the blades.
There's no way I can use these, and the ebay seller won't take them back.
Check out carefully what your deck takes, and if you can use these want a great deal on some great blades, here they are.
