Ford LT 81 Mower Deck Blades

Hi guys, had a friend of my Dad's contact me looking for blades for an LT 81. I've be scouring the internet and checked the usual spots such a Messick's, NH itself and anything else that came up on the web. They are the 17 inch blades, was wondering if anyone around here knew of any hiding around? I know the LT 81 and LT111 are rare machines so parts are too unfortunately. It's a young guy who found his grandfather's tractor after years, bought it back and now is using and restoring it on his first property so I'm trying to help him out. I love a story with family connections

If anyone has any suggestions please don't hesitate

Thanks guys
Mikey.
