If its a 14 inch I am assuming the diameter of each wheel is 14 inches seems to me if you multiply 14 x 3.1416 then measure how far the center shafts are apart from each other and multiply that by 2 then add these two totals together you get the blade length. In other words, 14 x 3.1416 equals half the diameter of both wheels added together. then add the distance between the shafts twice. Put your blade adjustment in the center first. You may could do it with the adjustment all the way down and get a range of what blades would fit.
