Vent: Bought a $200 power trowel blade set that didnt fit my machine

Ordered a set of combo blades for my MBW trowel off a surplus site. Said it fit all 36 inch walk behinds. Got em in the mail and the mounting holes were like a quarter inch off center. Tried to make em work for an hour before I gave up. Return shipping was $45 so I just ate the cost. Anyone else get burned by generic blades fitting different than advertised?

Dude that is so frustrating! I once bought a "universal" part for my truck and spent three hours with a grinder trying to make it work before I gave up. Sometimes you just gotta laugh so you don't cry haha.

What brand was the part? I swear some companies just stamp "universal" on stuff that barely fit the test model they had. Last time i got burned by one i started asking around on specific model forums before buying anything.
