PARTS INFORMATION

Alamo Industrial mowers use balanced and matched system components for blade carriers, blades,
cuttershafts, knives, knife hangers, rollers, drivetrain components, and bearings.  These parts are made and
tested to Alamo Industrial specifications.  Non-genuine "will fit" parts do not consistently meet these
specifications.  The use of “will fit” parts may reduce mower performance, void mower warranties, and present
a safety hazard.  Use genuine Alamo Industrial mower parts for economy and safety.
