WTB Ingersoll MK48 mulching kit
Looking for a mulching kit for my RM48 deck. I think the factory part numbers were MK48 and MK48-2. Wouldn't hurt to have a set of mulching blades but those are NLA... and ran about $150

I'll keep my eyes open, seems like I saw one for sale last fall.

Seems something was on FB Market place having to do with Case Ingersoll recently and you could see a mulching kit in the background, maybe in front of a CCI deck.

Re: WTB Ingersoll MK48 mulching kit
That part looks like it would be easy enough to have made . Sheared 10 guage run through a roller and cut to fit profile of the deck . Some tabs and a little welding , ready for paint . Any fab shop with a sheet roller can make that if you can't find one . You have the hardest part , what it looks like . As for the blades , What I have done on other older model mowers is to get a heavy duty (commercial ) blade similar to it and machine centre to match .
Food for thought .

May be easier to make than find.

Another source for steel to make blades from is leaf springs . New stock come curved and straight . Very tough wear resistant and can be bent to spec. in a press with the right dies , Again a well equipped fab shop.Timj wrote: ↑Tue Mar 22, 2022 8:22 amAgreed, I was thinking the same thing.DavidBarkey wrote: ↑Tue Mar 22, 2022 8:06 amThat part looks like it would be easy enough to have made .

Re: WTB Ingersoll MK48 mulching kit
The 44" kit is still a dealer available kit along with the blades. Last I heard anyway.
I do not know what your plan is on the 48" kit once your blades are used up.

Re: WTB Ingersoll MK48 mulching kit
Both the MK48 mulching kit and the mulching blades are NLA. I did see some similar mulching kits on amazon that I might be able to modify to work. I might kick off a separate topic...
