A mower blade includes a mid-section, two sharpened, end sections, and a
blade longitudinal axis. The mid-section includes a circular, central
hole having a relatively large diameter and being centered on the blade
longitudinal axis and first and second slots centered on the blade
longitudinal axis. Each of the first and second slots are positioned on
opposite sides of the central hole. The mid-section also includes first
and second circular, side holes positioned off the blade longitudinal
axis and on opposite sides of the central hole. Each of the first and
second side holes have a diameter that is smaller than the diameter of
the central hole. The diameter of the central hole is larger than the
width of each of the first and second slots.
