1759055YP High Lift Blades for 48" Mower Deck, Compatible with Simplicity Snapper Ferris Lawn Mower, Replaces 1759055 1757303 1757303YP, 3 Pack

What It Is

This is a set of three high-lift blades designed for 48-inch mower decks, intended to improve grass clipping discharge and bagging performance. They are compatible with select Simplicity, Snapper, and Ferris lawn mowers, and replace OEM part numbers 1759055, 1757303, and 1757303YP.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower deck is exactly 48 inches wide (measured cutting path). These blades fit specific models from Snapper (e.g., Pro, Pro Z, ZTR), Simplicity (e.g., Broadmoor, Regent, Citation), and Ferris (e.g., IS, ProCut). Check your owner’s manual or current blade part number—this set directly replaces 1759055, 1757303, and 1757303YP. Measure your existing blade length (should be 18.75 inches), center hole diameter (0.625 inches), and thickness (0.25 inches). These are aftermarket blades, not OEM Snapper, but meet or exceed OEM specs.

Key Things to Know

• High-lift design increases airflow for better bagging and side discharge, but creates more drag—expect slightly higher engine load and fuel consumption.
• Installation is straightforward if you’ve done blade swaps before: lift the deck, block it securely, use a socket and torque wrench to 40–60 ft-lbs. Always disconnect the spark plug first.
• Check blade balance after installation; unbalanced blades cause vibration and uneven cuts. Use a blade balancer ($10–15) to verify.
• Sharpening is possible but high-lift blades wear faster in sandy or rocky soil. Replace if nicked or bent—never straighten a bent blade.

Should You Buy It

Buy this set if you need a reliable, budget-friendly replacement for a 48-inch Simplicity, Snapper, or Ferris deck and prioritize strong bagging or discharge performance. It’s a solid value at $39.99 for three blades, with good user ratings. Skip it if you have a different deck size or need OEM-only parts for warranty reasons.
