Mulching blades for 7112H 42" Deck?

[arnoldir]

Amen on the gator blades, I have them on a 42" and run with the chute open. Since I let it go to 4" or 5" between cuts, I discharge it all into the center of the lawn then make one pass the other way to get rid of the pile.

Does anybody know if there are any "mulching" blades available for my 7112H (AC 912). I have a 42" deck. I guess I would have to fabricate a shield to block the discharge but that's what winters are for.....

Have you tried Gator blades. They cut the clippings into smaller pieces. IMHO they are much better than stock blades.

I'll have to look for the Gators. They sound like the ticket. Thanks.
