Should the red (heavy duty) be used on my commercial mower blades or is the blue strong enough?

The Blue should be strong enough. Especially if you are changing or sharpening blade often... The red is better if you do not plan to be unscrewing or un bolting things often... The whole LOCTITE line has been great... I have been using it since the 60's.. I remember when it was like the Eastman company... Eastman 910... The early Super glue used in Electronics... Hope this helps... John

Good question and I don't know. You could ask these guys, they have a forum for asking these things http://www.mowersdirect.com/lawn-mower-product-expert.php

You might check the Mora website for more information, but the "red" handle knife has a carbon blade and it has more taper in the blade. The "blue" is stainless steel. The carbon blade will give you more flex and easier to sharpen, but is prone to rust if you don't clean it after you use it. The stainless steel blade is harder and will hold an edge longer, and will not rust. It kinda depends on what you want or need in a knife. I really llove my "Moras" and have several. They are very good quality and relitively inexpensive. Buy one of each and see which you prefer. Good hunting!!

I sprayed my landscaping trailer 2 seasons ago and the stuff is holding up great. I do have some wear issues where the mowers are strapped to the front rail (metal on metal) but that was expected. Overall I'm more than pleased with the results. Just remember the prep is what will make or break you. Hope this helps you out.

You need to go with a 14/3 gauge or lower (the lower the number, the heavier duty the cord is, and the more amps it can handle). The 16/3 will not be heavy duty enough for your mower. If you decide to go with a 150 ft cord, then you will have to go with a 12/3 gauge because of the added length.

It should be fine really. It will eventually see issue. Most likely the blade.

yes, the replacement blade has a protective coating on it...after mowing the lawn the coating will wear off and you will notice that the blade will become sharper.

Dorco and Merkur are the same company. The product is the same for both labels but goes like this - The 'Blue' blades (which seems to be very hard to find any more) are the basic junk. Just plain ground blades. The 'Orange' are the better choice. They are more finely ground and coated with Teflon and say PLATINUM on the blades. So beware of receiving so called PLATINUM blades without the wording on the blade itself.As much as I love Merkur products...I can't say I like their blades. I prefer Personna Blue. But they may work for you. I would definitely go with ORANGE only.

Oh yeah. Can't say as I have done this, but it is plenty strong. I've cut steel with this, it should do it with the appropriate blade.

Match the smooth cutting edge of mulcher blade with the cutting edge of old blade (if still installed). Not sure if all mower brands have the same blade rotation direction.

I bought all three but I agree with Alice. It depends on what you plan to use it on. I have used my very little because I am 78 years old and my days of mechanicing are limited. I tried to remove the blades on my lawn tractor with the larger tool but my grip is not firm enough any more.

they are pretty sharp...i did take a flap disk sander wheel on a grinder to mine just to knock the paint off...i was waiting for the oil to drain anyway ...these blades are much thicker and i'm sure they will last 2x as long as the factory blades

30 weight only!! Do not use 5 -40 weight. It must be 30 weight oil as used in lawn mowers. Make sure you changed it after the first 3 hours of break in. It gets very dirty due to new piston wear from the break in period.

It is stain"less" steel, sooo there may be something out there some where that will make it oxidize or stain the blade. As with most tools, clean it properly when needed, and it should last you a long time.

in my opinion, this product is not strong enough for so large blades in a lawn mower

You should get two blades. They are designed to cut tall grass with minimal clogging. While the blades have a straight edge, they also have a high lift edge with teeth. This upper side with teeth is designed to keep the under side of the deck from grass build up. Truly out performs any original factory blade and are quite heavy duty. I've even cut wet grass when the original blades would not. You should be happy with these blades!

Yes, these are the correct blades for that mower. Description will be updated soon.
