Set of 10 Flail Mower Blade to Hanger Link D Rings Fits Ford 907 917 222157

What It Is

This is a set of 10 D-ring links that connect flail mower blades to the hanger pivot on a flail mower rotor. They are designed for light-to-medium-duty Ford flail mowers, specifically models 907 and 917, and replace OEM part 222157.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your Ford flail mower is a model 907 or 917. Measure the existing D-ring’s wire diameter (should be ~0.25 inch) and the inside width (about 1.5 inches). These rings are not universal—they will not fit other brands (e.g., John Deere, Bush Hog) without checking dimensions. Also verify that your flail mower uses a standard “J” or “L” blade hanger; these rings are for the link between the blade and the hanger, not the blade itself. If your mower uses a different hanger design (e.g., pivoting shackle), these will not work.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: These are aftermarket, not OEM. Expect basic steel with a black oxide or paint finish. They may wear faster under heavy use (thick brush, rocks) than OEM hardened steel rings.
• Installation: Easy—slide the ring through the blade eye and hanger hole, then close with pliers. No special tools needed.
• Gotcha: Check that the ring’s closed loop is fully tight after installation; a loose ring can detach at high speeds, throwing the blade.
• Quantity: 10 rings is enough for one standard 4-foot flail mower (most use 8–12 blades). For a larger deck (5+ feet), you’ll need two sets.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a Ford 907 or 917 flail mower, need a quick, low-cost replacement for worn or missing D-rings, and your mowing is light-duty (lawns, weeds, light brush). Skip it if you need OEM durability for heavy brush clearing or if your mower uses a different hanger style—spend more on OEM or a heavier-duty aftermarket link.
