What One Purchase Includes
This product is supplied as one blade per purchase. A complete deck may require multiple blades; any supplier-listed required count describes the deck, not the quantity included in one purchase.
Installation & Safety
Disable the engine and follow the mower manufacturer’s lockout, blade orientation, hardware, and torque instructions. Inspect the spindle, adapter, fasteners, and neighboring blades; replace or service damaged components and confirm balance before operation.
Fitment Safeguard
Verify the complete supplier and OEM replacement number together with the equipment model, engine or deck identification, serial range, mounting pattern, orientation, and required quantity. Dimensions or appearance alone do not establish compatibility; similar-looking service parts can differ in critical fit and operating details.
