(2) Blades fits Wright 71440001 Stander Mower Blade Pack 36" Set

What It Is

This is a two-blade set designed for Wright Stander 36-inch zero-turn mowers, specifically replacing OEM part number 71440001. It’s for cutting grass on commercial or residential properties with a 36-inch deck.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only fits 36-inch Wright Stander mowers. Do not use on 48-inch or 52-inch decks.
• Model check: Works with Wright Stander models that use the 71440001 OEM blade pack. Verify your mower’s model number (e.g., Stander 36, Stander X 36) in the owner’s manual or on the deck.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an aftermarket set, not OEM Wright. It’s a direct replacement but may differ slightly in coating or balance. Confirm blade length (typically 18 inches) and center hole size (usually 5/8 inch) before buying.
• Measurements: Measure your old blade’s length from tip to tip and the center hole diameter. If it matches this set, it’s compatible. Also check that the blade’s offset and lift angle match your deck’s design—Wright decks often use a specific “sail” pattern for airflow.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: At $36.85 for two blades, this is a budget-friendly option compared to OEM packs (often $50+). The 4.7-star rating from four reviews suggests good initial satisfaction, but limited reviews mean less long-term data.
• Installation: Easy to swap—remove the blade bolt (likely 9/16-inch or 5/8-inch socket), replace blades, and torque to spec (typically 70-90 ft-lbs). Use a blade lock or wedge to prevent spinning.
• Common gotcha: Aftermarket blades may need balancing before installation. Use a blade balancer to avoid vibration that can damage the spindle. Also, check that the blade’s air lift matches your deck’s cutting height needs—if you mow wet or tall grass, a high-lift blade (like this set likely has) improves discharge but uses more power.
• Durability: These blades are likely hardened steel but may dull faster than OEM if you hit rocks or roots. Sharpen after 10-15 hours of use for best results.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Wright Stander 36-inch mower and want a cost-effective replacement without paying OEM prices, this set is a solid choice—just verify your blade measurements and balance them before use. It’s best for routine mowing on clean lawns with minimal debris. Avoid if you need a reinforced blade for heavy-duty commercial use or if your deck requires a specific OEM offset.
