131-4547-03 Mulching Blades for 22" Toro Recycler, 108-9764-03 Lawn Mower Blades Compatible with 20001 20003 20005 20007 20008 20009, Replaces 104-8697-03P 108-9764-02P 104-8697-03, 1 Pack

What It Is

This is a set of mulching blades specifically designed for 22-inch Toro Recycler mowers. They cut grass into fine clippings that decompose quickly, eliminating the need for bagging on most residential lawns.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower deck is exactly 22 inches across. These blades fit Toro Recycler models 20001, 20003, 20005, 20007, 20008, and 20009. They replace OEM part numbers 104-8697-03P, 108-9764-02P, and 104-8697-03. Measure your existing blade length (should be roughly 22 inches tip-to-tip) and center hole diameter (typically 1 inch). If your mower uses a different blade length or center hole size, these won’t fit. Aftermarket blades may vary slightly in thickness or balance—stick with Toro OEM for guaranteed fit on these specific models.

Key Things to Know

• Quality & sharpness: Factory-sharpened out of the box. Expect clean cuts on dry grass; wet or tall grass may require slower mowing.
• Installation: Easy swap with a socket wrench and blade removal tool (wear gloves). Torque to 30-35 ft-lbs.
• Common gotcha: These are mulching blades only—they lack the lift wings of standard blades, so they won’t discharge or bag well. Use them only for mulching.
• Durability: Steel construction holds an edge for about 10-15 mowings before needing sharpening. Replace annually or sooner if nicked.

Should You Buy It

If you own a 22-inch Toro Recycler (20001–20009 series) and want fine mulching without bagging, this is the right blade. It’s a direct OEM replacement that’s easy to install and delivers consistent performance for most residential lawns. Skip it if you need discharge or bagging capability.
