With a good eye sharpening should not throw them out too bad. But altering the way the OP was could easily throw them out of balance.

Well. If they are symmetrical after your sharpening is done.I suppose you could weigh each one on a scale and get them to match in weight. Was your question rhetorical or sarcastic? Not sure if you were serious. I think you could have figured this out on your own based on very intelligent posts I have seen you write.

The mower they came off of is probably hefty and minor imbalance would not be noticeable.
I guess some people don't mind their mowers vibrating. When stuff vibrates things also tend to come loose and crack. I always check my blades for balance.

Oh, I suppose it could. But I don't think he had to take that much off of them. You really need to lighten up.

I promise, it was sarcastic and rhetorical.

They are definitely Bush Hog blades. Only way you might notice a vibration is if you completely lost a blade. Then it might shake a little.

So, did you mow with this thing yet?? Are they any better? Still waiting to know. Been nearly two months since you set out to prove a different set of blades would make it better.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah... I'm the one who needs to "lighten up" that's hysterical.

I know exactly what kind of blades iron man posted. I own several. He did not ask if you would feel them being out of balance. He asked how could you balance them. Was my response wrong?

I did not mow with them yet. Most likely next week will be the trial for them. I will post my thoughts after that.

LOL.. funny stuff

I have no problem with Jon. Historically, if you look at our posts I have been a supporter of Jon. He obviously has a lot to offer. He confuses me tho. He's typically very "by the book" . For instance, In this case we are talking about blades being balanced. I have not looked but I would bet money that this procedure is either in cub cadet tractor manual or in deck manual. He makes comments in an effort to try and make me look bad or something. Then he tells me to lighten up. I was not giving the OP a hard time. Neither Jon or I saw what the OP did to his blades. Neither one of knows how methodical the guy was with his grinder techniques. I was simply stating that after something like altering a blade it's probably not a bad idea to see how balanced they are. He looks for posts of mine and tries to make it a point to show people here that what I might be saying holds no merit. Unfortunately he constantly takes things out of context. In this case he compared a simple sharpening of a blade to altering a blade.

Oil and water we may be. But I don't have the kind of time on my hands that Jon must have to be able to hone in on posts and try to start feuds with people.

I ran across this pdf list of many mower blades.
Down at the bottom they are listed by length.
From there you can find different ones with whatever width, thickness, hole size, type you might be looking for.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
