Service Tip: Replacing a Single Cast Guard with Double Guards

Can I replace the single malleable cast guards on my mower with forged double guards?
The answer is yes, in most cases. The forged double guard is a high performance version of a guard, compared to the cast iron single guard. Forged double guards typically have a much smaller “girth” which helps them slide thru and down tangled crops better.
From personal experience I can tell you if you are stopping five times an hour to unplug your cutter bar with single guards, switch to double guards and you can maybe drop that to once an hour, as well you may pickup an extra higher gear while mowing.
