[AT] mower blades

[Larry Goss]

Have you contacted Mission Manufacturing in Princeton, Andy?  They have both right and left discharge mower blades in various configurations, but I don't know if they have anything that long. Give them a call and ask Adam if he can help you..  When I got my blades from them, Adam asked me which I wanted -- regular, or high-lift?  There may be a Yazoo blade that will fit your Befco unit.  If so, Gil (at Four Seasons on Morgan avenue) may be able to help.

FWIW, Charlie Korff at Armstrong was a Befco dealer.  I have the entire Korff archives of product literature packaged to take to tractor shows.  I had it out at SIAM, but you were "a little bit busy" during the show and we didn't make contact this year. I'm off to Edinburgh this weekend, but will take the time to see what I have in the way of information out in the shop after I get back home on Sunday.  Also, there is a NIB Befco tiller available from the Korff estate.  It has a built-in sideways shift, and is set up for Cat. "1" 3-point.  I'm not sure what the PTO rpm is.  I think the unit may have been set up for a Yanmar tractor.
