rck54-32 mmm blades

[jpf]

I need to get a set of blades for my mmm model rck54-32. anybody know what the price from the dealer would be?
also what the size of the nut holding them is? my manual only says there metric but don't tell me the size?
I do wish the kubota web site was worth a poop!
I sure would like to know before I drive 60 miles one way.

Your going to need to call your dealer for the price, there is set pricing for Kubota parts.

I think Kubota's web site is fine, it does give you the answer, look at remarks.

wow, I couldn't find that exploded view on the web site.
I couldn't find anything? do you have the secret decoder ring?
thanks wolfman.

 

[jpf]

I'm sorry Kubota, your web site is OK.
it's ME that couldn't figure out how to work it!
thanks again wolfman because of you I went back and found my mistake.
all is good now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And sorry to say, as far as bolt head size it could be one of three sizes 17mm, 18mm, 19mm.

Most Kubota blade bolts take a 30mm socket. A few on the lawn tractors are 17mm, 19mm, or 21mm depending on the mower.

Kinda ironic. I WORE OUT a Snap-On 30m socket on Kubota's blade bolts. It only took 22 years but it was to the point that it needed to be replaced. And no our local snap on guy wouldn't help with it...even though it was $45 in 2004. Probably $90 now. He doesn't visit the shop so I had to track him down. I told him that he didn't need to visit us, our Matco guy takes real good care of us. I bought a new Matco 30mm socket today, was $53 with tax. I think I may chuck the old Snap on socket up in the lathe and face the end of it until I get back to "good hex" again. It'll be short, but it'll work in a pinch. I may just take it home. Being shorter might make it a little easier to change blades on the G1900 since I don't have much of a lift at the house, just a floor jack-and a lot of times the impact and socket are a little too long to get on the bolt head properly. A shorter socket might actually help. Hmm...I'll have to try it.

yep, your right 30mm socket.
went to dealer yesterday to get new blades what they had were after market blades.
they looked and felt as heavy as the factory blades we'll see how they do.
the price was less than I expected $17ea.
the rattle can of paint however was $13.
I wanted a 6 point socket but could only find a craftsman 12 point, it worked this time but would like to get a 6 point in the future.
now to go sharpen my old blades so I have a spare set when I need them.
