Original blades split? Why

Yes, original blades are split. It helps create lift to suck up the grass so it cuts better

I mow 5-6 acres of pasture and sometimes encounter unknown items in the field like wood and pine cones and an occasional rock hidden in the grass. The blades erode and split after a while in this environment. I consider it normal wear and tear. I hope this help answer what meant.

CK the spline contact where they mount on the spindle, without the bolt & washer

original to the mower? often times if you have sandy soil or rocky soil the blades will wear down after a while and start splitting. It happened to my blades when I lived in Texas. I now live in Vermont and actually mow 5 acres of plush grass and aside from sharpening (every 50 hour maintenance) I have had no issues with these blades.

Amazon has the best price anyway and it clearly states which model to replace it with. I just replaced my blades with amazon and it came as one piece.

I had to buy a new blade assembly (found on amazon, SPB-456-2B), something had burned/broke inside and it wouldn't spin anymore: it spun before and now that I put the new blade assembly in, it spins again.

When cleaning the blades make sure the blade is completely dry before reassembling. If its not dry the blade will show corrosion and cutting will turn into pulling. I don't think these units were designed to last very long and are throw away units. Panasonic jacks up the shipping costs so they can make you purchase another unit.

Same here. It worked fine for a while, and suddenly, the blade wouldn't go back down. Can't figure it out.

Good question...I don't know. I know they tell you to use the brush and the oil to keep the blades going, but replacement blades would be nice.

Sometimes you get a bad blade from the factory. I have been using my father's blades and I think the older ones were made better.Which blade is giving you this problem? Is it one blade or many?Keeping the blade clean is important and don't over oil them.Hope this helps

I, too, have had a lot of trouble finding them. Last time I found them, it was in Walmart. The problem is that the replacement blades are as expensive as the whole new razor. I now just buy the whole new razor and throw the old one away, or keep it for parts.

As I recall it simply snapped on. My advice is not to replace it. My replacement blades never worked well. They always pulled hair. I had read simlar reports, but decided to try it anyway. After messing with it for a few months, we finally trough out the peanut and bought another.

In my old blender, the cutting assembly was broken. I didn't replace it soon enough so had to get a whole new blender. So you might look for cracks in the assembly. They are not too expensive to replace.

I checked the bags of extra blades in the kit I ordered and both the Upper AND Lower sets of replacement blades are in there.. I also noticed that the plastic gears that go along with and act as the drive gear are included in the bag also.. You should everything you need to replace the both sets of blades. Good Luck

YES! I have returned the blade housing 3 times and it just broke again. I demanded a complete refund, so we will see if this happens. They tried to tell me I am the only one it has happened to.

There is 5 blades, that is mistake in specs. Will ask amazon to fix it. Sorry about it.

I'm not sure. In my case, the motor does not work any longer, so replacing the blade wouldn't matter...

My wife, who is the primary user, did not use it enough yet to brake the blade - a frequent occurrence I can assure you. That is why we got the more professional machine. Sorry, No new blades yet. No idea where I would go at this time. rlp

This is not normal based on my experience. I used my first foil for 3-4 years before replacing it when I replaced the cutting blades. There was nothing visually wrong with the foil at replacement. It was cutting efficiently, also. The second foil has been in use for about 3 years and is still OK.

First thing I would do is get a new electrician . He had to really work at it to break one of the blades. Then call Minka Aires customer service number to see how to order new blades. If there is a local retailer for the company they may be able to order for you also.
