 Thank you for replying. I checked out the blade but unfortunately it wont work for the HU700L. It's listed as a compatible mower but it's not. This is a common problem with this mower, the center hole has to be a 5 point star, all the blades that I've found on line have the 3 hole configuration. I've tried ordering some blades through the dealer and other sources but the suppliers they use say that the blades are on backorder. As you can see, this whole situation is very frustrating and I'm contemplating taking the mower back and getting one that I can get parts for. However, I appreciate your time and help. Thank you.
