Small flail blades for old mower please

[Invicta]

I've got a pre 1989 LOGIC flail mower.

Having bought, and broken, the standard blades I got hold of Logic's Parts & Warranties Manager. The older mowers - with 11Hp Honda engine - had smaller blades than all models since.

Logic can no longer get these smaller blades.

 

Can anyone suggest an alternative please?

 

The current standard blades are around 5mm longer so as a last resort is it down to getting them ground or plasma cut to size?

 

Any help with this will be very much appreciated,

Bernard

Any chance of some pics with a rule next to them? May know where there are some lying about if your lucky. I got some spares for my turner flail mower there.

If you get the dimensions, length, width, height and bore size i'll see what i can do for you.

Dont know if this is any help to you, they do list flails for logic mowers flailsdirect.co.uk

Thank you for such quick replies folks.

The blades are (using a well used metal tape measure so allow a few thou):

Width = 26/27mm

Blade length (from tip to middle of the elbow) = 37mm

Shaft length (from tip to middle of the elbow) = 44mm

Thickness = 2mm

 

I'll try and post some pics.

I've been in touch with Flails Direct. Their standard flat grass blade for the Logic mowers are 8mm too long.

But otherwise the rest of the blade seems to match.

 

I don't know if they will be able to cut the blade down or supply a differnet blade but it's a start. I'll let you know what happens if they reply.

In the meantime all other options will be very welcome (apart from a new Mower)

I spoke to my brother about this issue, and although Logic have stopped supplying a variety of different flail cutters, they do use one "all-purpose" cutter for older models. Contact Keith at Fieldens 01449675071 and hopefully they'll be able to help trace what you need.

All,

 

I've had a reply from dave at Flails Direct.

 

Their smaller flail which will do the job is £2.56 each + VAT

Their Part No: FD-LOG-01

It's 65mm long as opposed to the 70mm which would be ideal but I'm going to try a set. I'll put them in a line on the rotor so i can see what difference they make as opposed to the ones originally fitted.

 

I'll post back when it's done and let you know what happens.

 

My thanks to you all for your help and suggestions,

Bernard
