This is mulching blade is specially designed for use with Craftsman riding lawn mowers/tractors. Mulching blades are shaped to keep the grass under deck for longer allowing it to be cut into smaller pieces. This provides natural mulch for your lawn since smaller clippings will decompose quicker, releasing their nutrients into the soil. It is made out of metal and it is sold individually. To install this mulch blade you would need a socket wrench. • Park the riding lawnmower on a flat surface such as a garage floor or a driveway • Disengage blades by pulling the cutting deck lever fully to the disengaged position • Set the riding lawnmower cutting deck to the highest position to access blades • Unscrew the blade bolt • Remove old blade and secure a new one in place • Reassemble in reverse order and test your new blade

Put the mower on blocks so you can get under it. Remove the blade bolts, then the washers then the old blades, place the new blade on the spindle and put the washers on, then bolt the new blades to the mower.

Mower was leaving a swath of grass about a foot wide between rows
Okay, let me start out by saying I am probably not your normal lawn tractor mechanic. I am 64 years old, a woman with bad back and knee problems, but I needed my mower fixed on a bare-bones budget. And I think if I can do it, anyone can. My biggest challenge was getting down to the ground and back up again to take the deck off. People who
... Read more can do that easily should count their blessings.
I have a RYOBI - Husqvarna mower with 42 inch deck - rebuilt. I would not be able to mow my place without it. I have about 4 acres to mow. This description may sound elementary, but it needs to be in layman\'s terms. The first thing to do is lower the deck all the way to the ground. If you don\'t do this first, you will put a lot more hours into it than you need to struggling with it. (learned from experience - this is the second time I have done this.) Remove all cotter pins - there are about 8 total. Then raise the deck lever to the highest level to promote easiest removal of deck. (There are levels and bars underneath that will make your life difficult otherwise.)
Since I cannot bend or kneel, I sat on the ground and used both legs to push it out from under the tractor. Be sure to take the belt off the pulleys first - there is a handy-dandy diagram to help you remember how to hook them back up. Also be sure to disconnect the pulley that puts the blade in motion - it is a cable that is not very noticeable but is vital to your mowing job.
The deck is heavy, so I leaned it against a stable surface to get to the blades. Since I also have little arm strength to spare - I have a \"cheater bar\" that I keep in my car at all times in case of a flat tire - it is very helpful in loosening large nuts like lugnuts. Using the cheater bar, I used a ratchet and attached the bar to the handle of the ratchet (it fits right inside the bar). One strong pull and it loosened the bolt holding on the blades. (I add this because not all people who need repairs are able to hire them done - and small women really are challenged by tasks that should take a lot of manpower.)
After removing the old blades that were ground into little daggers at each end due to the sand content of the soil here, I compared them to the new ones. Sure enough - a full 3 inches was missing on both ends of the old blades. Note to self: drive my mower AROUND the anthills instead of through them from now on.
Actually, this is the first time I have ordered new blades and gotten the exactly correct length for my 42\" mower deck, Thanks, EReplacement parts! The last company I used before this gave me blades that were about 2\" short.
Tighten the blades, then spin them by hand to make sure they are centered correctly and don\'t rub the deck. My mower is wearing out and does not have anything left of the flower-like centers that the blades fit over, so I needed to be careful. (That will be another set of parts to buy for the future.) Pay attention to the side of the blades that have writing on them - that is the side you should be able to see while you are tightening them. I believe the words \"Grass Side\" tell you which way is up. While I had the blades off, it was a perfect time to clean the deck off as well.
Slide the deck back in under the tractor. Lower the deck lever all the way down again. Reattach all cotter pins and cables. Don\'t forget any - that is what makes the cut so beautiful and even after you have done the work.
I love my lawn tractor and just wanted your readers to know that not all repairs have to be done by a certified mechanic. Even if you are less-abled, there is always a way to get things done if you look for it.
