(2) Fits Toro Timecutter Mower Blades 14-38Z Z380 Fits 38" Deck Replaces 88-5140-03

What It Is

This is a set of two replacement blades for Toro Timecutter zero-turn mowers with a 38-inch cutting deck. Designed for the 14-38Z and Z380 models, it replaces OEM part number 88-5140-03. These blades are for medium-duty residential mowing and fine grass clipping performance.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower is a Toro Timecutter with a 38-inch deck—specifically the 14-38Z or Z380. Measure your current blade length (should be approximately 15.5 inches) and ensure the center hole diameter matches the spindle (typically 5/8-inch). The blade offset and sail height must also match your deck’s design; these are direct OEM replacements, so aftermarket blades with different profiles may not fit or cut evenly. Check your mower’s serial number against Toro’s parts list if you have an older model, as deck variations exist.

Key Things to Buy

• Quality: These are OEM-equivalent blades made to Toro specs—good steel, sharp out of the box, and balanced. Expect 20-30 hours of cutting life on standard turf before dulling.
• Installation: Easy if you have a socket wrench and a blade removal tool (or a block of wood to jam the blade). Torque the spindle bolts to 45-55 ft-lbs. No special skills needed.
• Common gotchas: Always replace blades in pairs—mixing old and new can cause vibration and uneven cut. Check the blade bolt condition; corroded bolts may snap during removal. Use anti-seize compound on the bolt threads to prevent future issues.
• Fitment note: These blades are not compatible with Toro Timecutter models with 42-inch, 44-inch, or 50-inch decks. Also, they won’t fit non-Toro zero-turns.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Toro Timecutter 14-38Z or Z380 and need a reliable, drop-in replacement for the OEM blades, this set is a solid choice. The price is fair for the quality, and the high rating reflects consistent performance. It’s right for homeowners who want a hassle-free match without aftermarket guesswork.
