If you can get into a small engine shop with a good selection of blades with one of yours as a template would help your search . Another option to try is what is a friends older JD. rear discharge . It has the standard blade and a smaller second blade 90 degrees to the main blade with an offset height .

I'm still looking for the MK48 or MK48-2 mulching kit.

Matt, I too have been looking for a while. Last year someone posted one for sale on the other site. He was taking offers. I pm'd him. He was looking for a $300 plus offer. Figured it was gold I guess. I don't think he sold it. My plan is to fab up some this year. My friend has a sheet metal roller and I have alot of sheet metal on hand. If you don't find any by the time I make them, I'll sell you some baffles. Will just have to figure out the blade issue. When I purchased my first ingersoll 4018 it came with Oregon gator blades. They have seen better days and are used up, but I put them on when needed. Wish they were still available.

I was planning to have our mechanical engineer at work draw up some prints from an existing set and get some mulching kits made. I haven't had time to kick off another thread on mulching blades but I was thinking of having custom blade adapters designed and machined to convert from ingersoll RM series spindles to another blade drive type.
