MaxPower 561545B 3-Blade Set for 50 in MTD, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt Mowers | OEM Replacements

Overview

MaxPower 561545B is a practical three-blade replacement set designed for many 50-inch decks from MTD, Cub Cadet, and Troy-Bilt. This kit is built to align with common OEM reference numbers, giving you a straightforward path to replacing worn blades without guesswork. Each blade measures the standard 17-29/32 inches in length and 2-1/2 inches in width, and features a robust 6-point star center hole for a secure fit on compatible spindles.

What makes this blade set a practical choice

• Three blades included to cover the full cutting deck and promote balanced rotation, which can help even clippings.
• Exact sizing of 17-29/32 inches length and 2-1/2 inches width supports compatibility with many 50-inch mowers and steady airflow during mowing.
• Powder-coated finish provides corrosion resistance during storage and initial use, with the edge preserved for re-sharpening after first cut.
• Factory sharpening paired with OEM-number verification helps you prepare for immediate mowing when installed.

Compatibility and OEM references

This set replaces a wide range of OEM numbers including MTD, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Toro, and Windsor references. Please double-check your mower's OEM blade number against the list to confirm fit. Note: 561545B does not fit all 50 inch Cub Cadet decks; for newer RZT models (2015+), consider 561558B as an alternative.

Real-world use scenarios

In everyday backyard maintenance, these blades can help you achieve clean, even clippings on varied turf, from thick spring growth to drier summer grass. The three-blade arrangement can support smoother deck rotation, potentially reducing vibration and improving cutting consistency across the width of the mower.

Installation tips

To install safely, disconnect the mower's ignition or spark plug, use proper gloves, and follow the manual for blade removal and torque specs. Use a blade removal tool if recommended by the manufacturer.

• Verify the blade orientation and ensure the 6-point star hole aligns with the spindle.
• Retorque after initial cuts as the blade seating settles; inspect for balanced operation.

Quality and manufacturing

MaxPower blades are sharpened during manufacturing and powder-coated for lasting protection. The protective coating wears away at the edge during the first cut, revealing a precision sharpened edge ready for mowing. All blades are proudly made in the USA to meet or exceed OEM specifications.
