All the way in page 8 - John Deere 220E (2013) Reel Replacement and Reconditioning

220E Maintenance sheet lists all your parts options. I used the ET17767. It is thicker and works well for the HOC we target on a green mower. Pete1313 thread has pictures comparing them both.

This chart has the HOC descriptions.

Thanks!!!

My target hoc is .6-.75hoc threwout season

I have an 11 blade reel so I should be fine with the thicker Bedknife ?

 

0.3in is the min hoc with that knife.

So can't go lower than that is what you mean?

Also replacing Bedknife screws is a must from what I've read? What do you use to get proper torque on the screws?

 

Yes, below 0.3in the knife will hit the ground/concrete.

I use a torque wrench in lb in (not lb ft!)

Gotcha. And when you changed yours did you use thread locker?

 

No! The opposite, anit-sieze. It is all explained in the thread and the manual. Start at the middle and go out alternating sides.

As explained in the thread, you will likely need an impact wrench and use a wide/thick flat head bit.
