MaxPower 561544B 2-Blade Replacement Set for 46" Lawn Tractors — 23-1/4" x 3", 6-Point Star Mount, USA-Made

These two full-length mower blades by MaxPower measure 23-1/4 inches long and 3 inches wide, with a six-point star center hole designed to match specific OEM patterns. Built in the United States to meet or exceed OEM tolerances, the blades arrive precision-sharpened and coated for protection during handling; the protective finish wears off quickly on first use to reveal a factory edge ready for mowing. Before ordering, confirm the OEM number on your existing blade matches one of the listed part numbers to ensure an exact fit.

How do I confirm these blades will fit my mower?

Check the OEM number stamped on your current blades and compare it to the replacement list. The center mounting pattern is a 6-point star; matching that shape and the blade length ensures correct fit and safe operation.

• Measure blade length: 23-1/4" long and 3" wide to match deck clearance.
• Confirm center hole: 6-point star mounting hole for proper spindle engagement.
• Match exact OEM part number printed on your existing blade before purchasing.

What are the construction and sharpening details?

MaxPower manufactures these blades to OEM-spec strength and balance, then precision-sharpens them during production. A protective coating guards the edge in transit and storage; it quickly wears off when first used, leaving the cutting edge exposed and ready for effective mowing.

• Material and build: stamped and heat-treated steel designed for durability and balance.
• Pre-sharpened: factory edge reduces initial run-in time and improves first-cut performance.
• Coated finish: corrosion and handling protection that clears with the first cut.

What installation and safety steps should I follow?

Install blades with the mower engine off, spark plug disconnected, and mower on a stable lift or jack stands to prevent movement. Torque blade mounting hardware to the mower manufacturer's specification and check blade clearance from the deck and spindle before mowing.

• Disconnect spark plug and secure mower before any blade work.
• Inspect mounting hardware and replace worn bolts or washers as needed.
• Verify blade rotation direction and balance after installation to prevent vibration.

Who is this for: Homeowners and landscape professionals who operate 46-inch deck tractors from Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, MTD, Craftsman, Huskee or Murray and need a reliable, OEM-compatible replacement blade set made in the USA. These blades suit anyone looking for factory-fit dimensions, a pre-sharpened edge, and a quick way to restore smooth, even cuts—provided the mower's OEM blade number matches one of the listed references.
