Maxpower 3-Blade Mulching Set for 54-inch Mowers — 18.5in Commercial, USA-Made 3-Pack

MaxPower 561738XB is a USA-made set of three commercial-grade mulching blades designed to restore and improve mulching performance on 54-inch Craftsman, Husqvarna, and Poulan lawn tractors.

These three blades are engineered as direct-fit replacements for several OEM part numbers and are manufactured to match or exceed factory specifications. Each blade measures 18-1/2 inches long and 3 inches wide with a distinctive 5-point star center hole for secure mounting. MaxPower sharpens the cutting edges during production and applies a protective powder coat that sheds on first use to reveal a honed blade surface for consistent, powerful cutting and mulching.

Which mowers and OEM numbers do these blades fit?

Confirm compatibility by checking your owner’s manual or the blade stamped OEM number. The set is intended for 54-inch decks from popular makes and replaces multiple factory blade numbers for easy cross-reference.

• Fits 54" Craftsman, Husqvarna, and Poulan mower decks
• Replaces OEM numbers 187254, 187255, 187256
• Also replaces 594892901, 532187255, 532187256
• Uses a 5-point star center hole for correct deck mounting

How do these blades improve mulching compared to standard blades?

These are commercial mulching blades engineered to increase the cutting surface and generate the airflow needed for effective grass circulation under the deck. That design promotes finer clippings which decompose faster and return nutrients to your lawn when mulched.

• Expanded cutting surface for greater contact with grass
• Sharpened teeth for a cleaner, more precise cut
• Centrifugal air-lift profile to help circulate clippings for even chopping
• Powder-coat protects edges during shipping and handling

What are the physical specs and mounting details?

Each blade is 18-1/2 inches long by 3 inches wide and centers on a five-point star hole to match OEM deck holes. The set of three lets you replace all rotating blades at once to restore balance and cutting uniformity.

• Dimensions: 18-1/2" L x 3" W per blade
• Center: 5 point star mounting hole for secure fit
• Set includes three identical commercial mulching blades
• Designed to meet or exceed original equipment specifications

How should I prepare and install these blades for best results?

Always follow mower manufacturer safety guidelines: disconnect spark plug, wear gloves, and support the deck safely before changing blades. Install all three blades with correct torque and orientation to maintain balance and mulching performance.

• Disconnect spark plug and secure mower before service
• Replace all blades together to maintain deck balance
• Remove powder coat at first cut—this is expected
• Check blade direction and torque to manufacturer specs

Who this set is for: homeowners and commercial users with 54-inch Craftsman, Husqvarna, or Poulan riding mowers who want OEM-equivalent replacements that emphasize mulching efficiency. If you need blades that match specific OEM part numbers, deliver a refined cut, and are produced to U.S. manufacturing standards, this MaxPower 561738XB three-blade set is built to provide consistent, heavy-duty performance for seasonal lawn care.
