Designed to fit many popular zero-turn and walk-behind models, the Aeagle 482877 offers a practical aftermarket option when you need reliable cutting performance, efficient clippings recycling and straightforward installation.

Which machines and OEM numbers does this blade replace?

Compatibility is a key strength: the Aeagle 482877 is made to replace multiple OEM references used across several brands. Check your deck size, mounting pattern and published part numbers before ordering to ensure a correct match.

• Compatible OEMs: 038-5350-00, 038-5000-00, 482461, 481706, 795757 and others.
• Fits Bad Boy models including ZT Elite, CZT, Maverick series and Revolt stand-on mowers.
• Fits Scag models like Tiger Cub STC48, Cheetah SCZ48V/SCZ52V and Freedom Z SFZ48.
• Fits Hustler decks such as Raptor SD and Fastrak 48".

What cutting performance can I expect from these mulching blades?

The Aeagle 482877 uses a toothed, contoured profile that cuts and re-cuts clippings to produce smaller mulch pieces that decompose faster. This design helps distribute organic matter back into the turf and performs well on thick or slightly overgrown grass.

• 3-in-1 design handles mulching, discharge and bagging without swapping blades.
• Toothed, curved edges improve lift and recutting for finer clippings.
• Works on weeds and denser turf where conventional flat blades struggle.

What are the blade specifications and materials?

The blade measures approximately 16 3/8" from tip to tip of each half, designed for 48" cutting decks with a circular center hole and 1" air lift. Thickness and width are sized to match OEM tolerances so the blade balances and fits securely on the spindle.

• Length: 16 3/8" per half; compatible deck size: 48".
• Air lift: 1"; width: 2 1/2"; thickness: 1/5"; circle center hole mounting.
• Constructed for resharpening; cutting edges coated with safety paint.

How do I maintain and install these blades safely?

Installation follows standard mower blade replacement steps: disconnect spark plug, raise deck, remove bolts, and mount with correct torque and orientation. The painted edges are a safety coating that wears off with use; when dull, the blades can be resharpened rather than replaced immediately.

• Always disconnect power and secure the mower before changing blades.
• Re-torque mounting hardware to OEM specifications after installation.
• Sharpen when cutting performance drops; maintain balance to avoid vibration.

Who is this for? The Aeagle 482877 is aimed at homeowners, lawn care professionals and fleet managers who operate 48" zero-turn or walk-behind decks from Scag, Bad Boy and Hustler and want an economical aftermarket blade that multitasks: mulches, discharges and bags. If you need a direct-fit replacement that supports heavier mowing conditions and allows sharpening for extended service life, this blade is a practical choice. Confirm your mower model and part number compatibility before purchasing.
