Key features and benefits

• Blade length 16 3/8", width 2 1/2", thickness 1/5" with a central mounting hole for secure fit.

• 3-in-1 performance means you can mulch, discharge, and bag using one blade set, reducing kit clutter and simplifying maintenance.
• Edges are coated with safety paint that wears away with use, and the blade can be safely resharpened to extend life.

• Includes blade models such as 038-5350-00, 038-5000-00, 482461, 482877, and 795757, indicating broad compatibility with manufacturer-recommended fittings.

Real-world use and performance

In daily mowing, the toothed design helps cut and recut clippings into finer pieces, recycling them back into soil as nutrients for a healthier lawn. The blades are designed to handle dense growth and tall grass, potentially reducing the number of passes needed for a clean cut and helping you complete tasks more efficiently.

Maintenance and care

• Resharpen when dull to restore cutting performance; the protective coating will wear off gradually with use.
• Regularly check center hole alignment and mounting to maintain balance and minimize vibration during operation.
