Abstract
A blade adapter for attaching a mower blade to a blade drive shaft of a lawn mower is disclosed. The blade adapter includes first and second extensions that extend beneath the bottom surface of the blade adapter and correspond with holes located along a longitudinal axis of the mowing blade equadistance from the center hole of the mowing blade. The first and second extensions act to pass torque between the blade adapter and the mowing blade, thereby reducing stresses on the teeth and slots of the central section of the blade adapter and mowing blade. A method for installing a mowing blade onto the disclosed blade adapter is also disclosed which includes the step of aligning the first and second holes of the mowing blade with the first and second extensions of the blade adapter and aligning the central star hole of the mowing blade with the central star section of the blade adapter.
