Ford yt16 mower deck problem

I got this mower a few years ago. I can't find replacement blades for the 48" mower deck. Does anyone know of any?
If not can anyone recommend a mower deck from another brand that I can still get blades for that will work on the ford? Thanks in advance for any help.
 
As near as I can tell, only the short center blade is still available from ASC. The 42" deck uses 3 of these short ones so there must be more call for them.
Messicks claims to have a kit of two 17" and one 14" blades for the 48" mower but they want over a hundred bucks.
I just completely rebuilt the 48" deck for my LGT-18H last fall and I expect I will need a set of blades for it in a year or two.
The unique slots used on the center holes are the problem.
It may be possible to get a blade with the correct size center hole and correctly spaced outer holes. Then it might be possible to grind in slots or easier yet, dispense with the roll pins on the spindles. Here is the info from Messicks:

Thanks Brian. I remember finding the expensive blade set through ford back when I first got it now. It's hard for me to justify paying that. The only aftermarket blades I could find were the small center blade as well. Thanks again for the help.
