High Lift Blade Rebuild Kit Fit for Ariens Gravely 60 inch Cut Max Zoom 2560 Pro-Turn 260 460 Zero-Turn Includes (3) Spindles 59202600 (3) Blades 09081200

What It Is

This is a complete high-lift blade rebuild kit for 60-inch Ariens Gravely zero-turn mowers, including three replacement spindles and three high-lift blades. It’s designed to restore cutting performance and bagging capability on worn decks.

Fitment & Compatibility

Required checks before buying:

• Deck size: 60-inch cut only. Will not fit 48, 52, or 72-inch decks.
• Models: Ariens Zoom Max 2560, Pro-Turn 260/460 series, Gravely Pro-Turn 260/460. Confirm your model suffix (e.g., 2560 vs 2560X) – some newer variants may use different spindles.
• OEM part numbers: Spindles (59202600) and blades (09081200) are direct replacements for factory parts. Check your existing spindle bolt pattern – these are 3-bolt spindles.
• Blade dimensions: Each blade is roughly 20.5” long with a 1” center hole and 0.25” thickness. Measure your current blade length and hole diameter to confirm.
• Warranty note: Aftermarket parts may void factory warranty on newer machines. Verify before installing.

Key Things to Know

• Quality variance: At 3.9 stars from limited reviews, some users report blades wearing faster than OEM. Expect to replace blades more frequently if you mow rough terrain.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Spindles require removing the deck, unbolting old spindles, and torquing to spec (typically 30-40 ft-lbs). Have a torque wrench and impact gun ready.
• Common gotcha: High-lift blades increase dust and debris throw. Not ideal for dry, dusty conditions or if you have neighbors nearby.
• Lift vs OEM: Aftermarket spindles may have slightly different bearing quality. Check for smooth rotation before installation – any roughness means return immediately.

Should You Buy It

Buy this kit if you need a complete spindle-and-blade refresh on a 60-inch Ariens/Gravely zero-turn and want a budget-friendly alternative to OEM parts. Skip it if you mow professionally in high-dust environments, need OEM reliability, or have a newer machine under warranty. For occasional residential use, it’s a solid value.
