[QUOTE="dun, post: 862332, member: 34"] I'm running an 8 foot New Idea that I bought heavily used 5 years ago. For parts (if I ever need any) there are a copule of dealers nearby. The blades are sold at JD and even at the lcoal farm supply store. The previous owner had problems with it being out of time. He had never bothered to adjust it or do anything but kep it lubed and sharpened blades. It took a couple of hours when I first got it to adjust the cutter pots (shims) and I haven;t done anything since but keep the blades sharp and keep it lubed. The only thing I don;t like about a disc mower is that on really choppy ground the cutter far end bounces pretty badly at much speed. But when the grass is wet and laying down it cuts when a sickle would be just clogged up. [/QUOTE]
