Hi Norm,
Nice thinking but this model has a different 3 hole setup on the middle of it's bar blades, I know the style you're talking about thats seen on the older and lower end Ozito's - they have a centre style thats unique to this mower, don't even think any others in their range has it - hence IMHO it's rather cynical by design as they have made it so unique you have to be a metal fabricator to get anything else to work.
I'll just be extra careful and make do till she moves to a smaller yard - boring but easiest. :-)
