Which mowers and part numbers do these blades replace?

These Oregon blades are made to fit a range of Ferris decks and correspond to several OEM numbers, making them an easy drop-in alternative for owners trying to match blade specs. Check your mower’s manual or existing blade markings to confirm compatibility before ordering.

• Compatible OEM references: Ferris 1521227, A48185, 481711, 21227
• Also cross-references PMN#4534TG48 and alternative supplier codes
• Intended for decks that accept 18" blades with a 5/8" center hole

How will these G6 Gator Mulch Blades affect cutting and lawn appearance?

Gator Mulch Blades are shaped to improve grass clipping circulation and reduce striping compared with standard flat blades, encouraging finer mulching and quicker decomposition into the turf. You’ll generally see a more even finish and reduced clumping when blades are sharp and correctly installed.

• Mulching profile chops clippings into smaller pieces for faster breakdown
• Curved cutting edge helps lift grass for a cleaner cut
• Three-blade set helps maintain consistent performance across multi-blade decks

What are the key specifications and how do they influence fit and durability?

Size and mounting details determine whether a replacement blade will seat and secure correctly; these Oregon blades are specified at 18 inches overall with a 5/8" center hole and a listed cross-section of 3.00/.250. Material thickness, hole size, and balance affect vibration, life span and mower spindle stress when installed properly.

• Overall length: 18 inches (standard for many commercial and residential decks)
• Mounting hole diameter: 5/8" (confirm with mower spindle hardware)
• Cross-section/fit spec: 3.00/.250 for intended spindle and washer stacks

How should I install and maintain these replacement blades?

Installation is straightforward for users comfortable with basic mower maintenance, but always follow safety procedures: disconnect spark plug, prop the deck, and torque blades to the manufacturer’s specs. Regular sharpening and correct torque will extend blade life and preserve cut quality.

• Disconnect spark plug before any blade work for safety
• Use proper washer and nut configuration matching your spindle assembly
• Sharpen periodically and inspect for nicks, bends or heavy wear
