John Deere Z960R Mower Blade FAQ

Why does the John Deere Z960R blade center hole matter?

The captured center-hole detail is 1 in (25 mm). If the hole shape or size is wrong, the blade may not seat correctly on the spindle even if the length looks right

What is the difference between the John Deere Z960R blade number and blade set number?

The captured single blade number is M144202, while the captured blade set number is AUC18158. Use the single blade number for one replacement and the set number when replacing the full deck set

Should you order the John Deere Z960R blade by tractor model or deck size?

Use both. The captured deck size is 72 in deck, and the captured blade value is AUC18158. Model name alone is risky when multiple decks or serial ranges exist

Official information note

Mistakes do happen. Blade specs can change by year, mower deck, spindle, serial range and regional parts catalog. Please check the operator manual, old blade stamp, deck tag and official John Deere parts catalog before ordering replacement blades.
