PARTS INFORMATION
Tiger 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 Tiger
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 Tiger
mower parts for economy and safety.
