Stens 28" Hi-Lift Lawnmower Blade for Snapper 28" Deck — Replaces OEM 1-9515 (Hi-Lift, 28")

Stens 335-315 is a direct-fit 28" hi‑lift replacement lawnmower blade engineered to restore cutting performance for Snapper 28" deck rear engine rider models that use OEM 1-9515 series blades.

If your Snapper rear‑engine rider is producing ragged clippings, reduced bagging or uneven cuts, a worn or damaged blade is often the cause. This Stens replacement is manufactured to match the key mounting and cutting dimensions of the original Snapper blade so you get consistent balance, proper blade-to-deck clearance and reliable grass discharge.

Will this blade fit my mower?

This blade is built to replace Snapper OEM numbers 1-9515, 7019515 and their BMA/BZ/BZYP variants and is intended for 28" decks used on rear engine rider models. Confirm fit by comparing your old blade's center and outer hole measurements before ordering.

• Blade length: 28" to match 28" cut decks
• Center hole diameter: 1 1/16" — main mounting fit
• Outer mounting hole: 9/16" with 7 1/2" center-to-center
• Replacement for listed Snapper OEM numbers

How does the Stens hi‑lift blade affect cutting and collection?

As a hi‑lift profile, this Stens blade is shaped to generate stronger upward airflow beneath the deck, which improves lift of grass blades and helps convey clippings into the bagger or through the discharge. It also promotes a cleaner, more even cut on dense or tall turf when used on the correct deck size.

• Hi‑lift design enhances grass lift for better bagging
• Restores original deck airflow characteristics
• Helps reduce tearing and uneven clipping on thicker lawns

What are the important physical specifications I need to know?

Knowing the blade’s exact dimensions prevents fitment and clearance issues. Stens provides precise measurements for mounting holes, overall length, width and steel thickness so you can compare with your existing blade or OEM documentation.

• Overall length: 28"
• Blade width: 2 3/4" for correct deck coverage
• Thickness: approx. 0.187" (nominal); manufactured to durable stamped steel tolerances
• Mounting: center hole 1 1/16", outer hole 9/16", center-to-center 7 1/2"

How should I install and maintain this replacement blade?

Installation follows the mower manufacturer’s torque and orientation instructions; always wear gloves and secure the mower to prevent movement. Regular maintenance — periodic sharpening, balancing and inspecting for nicks or bends — keeps the blade performing safely and prolongs deck and engine life.

• Fit with cutting edge facing the direction specified by Snapper
• Torque mount bolts to Snapper's recommended specification
• Sharpen and balance after heavy use; replace if bent or cracked
