Bo T Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I can get some JD lawn mower blades which are purported to be a high carbon nickel steel. Anyone got better specifics on them? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Not without knowing the maker and asking them. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Search mower blades, or brush hog blades, I posted the info from the major manufacturer awhile back, and I believe they did them for JD. They are a high boron steel that takes special heat treatments. If they survived , I believe I included the links to the mfg site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickOHH Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Must be poorly heat treated or not at all maybe because all my experience with JD blades at work are they aren't to good, don't maintain an edge and bend if ya look at em wrong, again could just not be treated.? I keep all our spent scag blades, those suckers are TOUGH and hold an sharp edge twice as long as anything else we've tried over the last 15 but I haven't been able to find out a composition had luck so far with oil though.

Bo T Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Thanks. Someone posted a link on a different forum that led to a description that indicated they were high carbon nickel steel. After reading this I tried but couldn't step back from that link until I got to the original website that sent me in a different path where the description from BIGGUNDOCTOR was shown.
