[Shop-talk] First ever Shop Talk treasure hunt- PRIZE for winner

[eric at megageek.com]

OK, in the past, many people have helped me find stuff and I'm really 
appreciative of it.  So this time, I'm making it a contest.

First prize is a $50 Amazon card (or card of their choice that I can buy 
online) to the winner AND a $50 donation to the this list in the winner's 
name.

Here is the contest.

My mower, a 1978 Hustler Excel 285 has blades that are now 'obsolete.'  I 
went to the dealer and they can't find any in inventory  The blade part 
number is 015657.

I have been ordering blades that 'seem' to match, but each have had 
problems.  The blade specs are...

-23.8" long-  (I can vary the length a little bit +/-)
-1/2" center hole
-2 3/4" wide
-cut turning clockwise. 

So here are blades that are the right dimension, but they cut the wrong 
direction... (HUSTLER part #754879)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001TAPW4Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I need three of these blades (but I would buy at least 6 if available.)

So, if anyone can find blades that match that description and are 
available for sale, they are the winner.

READY...

SET...

GO!
