131-4547-03 Mulching Blades Replacement for Toro 22'' Recycler Blades with OE 20330C 20065 104-8697-03 20016 20017 20332 20071 Compatible with Toro Recycler Mower 22 in. Deck 2 PCS

What It Is

This is a set of two mulching blades designed specifically for Toro 22-inch Recycler walk-behind mowers. They replace OEM blades (models 20330C, 20065, 104-8697-03, 20016, 20017, 20332, 20071) and are intended to cut grass into fine clippings that decompose quickly, eliminating the need for bagging.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower has a 22-inch cutting deck and is a Toro Recycler model (typically models 20065, 20330, 20332, or similar). Measure the blade length: these are 22 inches from tip to tip, with a center hole diameter of 1 inch and a 5-point star drive pattern. Check your current blade’s part number against the OE list above. These will not fit non-Recycler decks, 21-inch decks, or other brands without adapter kits. Also verify the blade thickness (about 0.2 inches) matches your mower’s spindle clearance.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket blades, but rated 4.6/5 from 520+ reviews. Typically made of hardened steel with a painted finish. Sharp out of the box but may dull faster than OEM if you hit heavy debris.
• Installation: Easy for DIY—lift mower, remove center bolt, swap blades. Torque to 40-50 ft-lbs. Use a blade removal tool or block wood to prevent spinning. Always disconnect spark plug first.
• Common gotcha: The star drive pattern must align perfectly with your spindle; if your mower uses a different drive (e.g., hex or round), these won’t fit. Also, aftermarket blades may have slightly different balance—check with a blade balancer after install.
• Mulching performance: Works best on dry, short grass. Wet or tall grass will clump; consider bagging or side-discharge in those conditions.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Toro 22-inch Recycler and want affordable mulching blades that perform similarly to OEM, this is a solid choice at $28.99 for two. It’s best for homeowners who mow regularly and prefer fine clippings over bagging. Skip it if you have a different deck size or need heavy-duty blades for rocky terrain.
