These BCQNXX high-lift replacement blades are 18" notched mower blades sold as a 3-pack, engineered to fit 36" and 52" decks and replace many common OEM part numbers for Scag, Ferris, Encore, Toro and others.

This three-blade set offers a direct-fit alternative when you need to restore lift and bagging performance on commercial and residential walk-behind and zero-turn mowers.
