3 Made Blades to fit The Befco 72" Finishing Mower Befco 000-6845 6845

What It Is

This is a set of three replacement blades for the Befco 72-inch finishing mower, specifically designed to fit the OEM part number 000-6845 (also listed as 6845). These blades are used for fine, clean cuts on large turf areas like parks, sports fields, or estates.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before purchasing, verify the following:

• Deck size: Must be a 72-inch Befco finishing mower deck. This set includes three blades (one per spindle).
• Model/part number: Confirm your mower uses Befco OEM part 000-6845 or 6845. This aftermarket set is made to match that exact blade pattern.
• Measurements: Check blade length (likely ~25 inches), center hole diameter, and thickness against your old blade. If you can, measure the mounting hole pattern (typically a 7-point star or keyed hole) to ensure a snug fit on the spindle.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a non-OEM (aftermarket) blade. It should fit, but quality and balance may vary from the factory blade.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: With only 1 review (4.0/5), there’s limited feedback. Inspect the blades for straightness and sharpness upon arrival—bent or dull blades will cause vibration and poor cut.
• Installation: Medium difficulty. You’ll need a torque wrench to tighten spindle bolts to spec (typically 70–90 ft-lbs). Always replace all three blades at once to maintain balance.
• Common gotchas: Aftermarket blades may be slightly thinner or softer than OEM, leading to faster wear or bending in rough conditions. Also, ensure the blade orientation (cutting edge forward) matches your mower’s rotation.
• Safety: Disconnect the spark plug and raise the deck safely before swapping blades. Wear gloves—edges are sharp.

Should You Buy It

This is a budget-friendly option if you need a quick replacement for a Befco 72" finishing mower and the OEM blade is unavailable or too expensive. However, due to the single review and generic aftermarket nature, it’s best for light-to-moderate use on well-maintained turf. For heavy commercial mowing or if you demand maximum blade life, consider OEM or a higher-rated aftermarket brand.
