2PK Mulching Lawn Mower Blades Fits Scag 36" 48108 481707 481711 48185 482462

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of mulching blades designed for Scag 36-inch commercial walk-behind mowers. They replace OEM part numbers 48108, 481707, 481711, 48185, and 482462, and are intended for fine-clipping mulching rather than side discharge or bagging.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower has a 36-inch cutting deck and that the blade mount pattern matches Scag’s standard center hole and oval drive holes. Measure your existing blade length—these are for 36” decks only, not 48” or 61”. Check the OEM part number on your current blade or in your manual against the five numbers listed. These are aftermarket, so they may not fit older Scag decks with non-standard spindles or blades that use a different hole pattern (e.g., 5-point star). Also verify the blade thickness (typically 0.25” for Scag commercial) and that the center hole is 1” diameter with two offset oval drive holes.

Key Things to Know

• Quality concern: With a 3.5-star rating from only 2 reviews, expect possible balance or hardness issues. Aftermarket mulching blades often require balancing before install.
• Installation: Medium difficulty. You’ll need a torque wrench (specs: 70-90 ft-lbs) and a blade removal tool or block of wood to prevent spinning. Always replace blades in pairs for balanced cut.
• Gotchas: Mulching blades have a higher lift than standard blades—they may bog the engine in tall, wet grass. They also won’t work well for bagging or side discharge without swapping.
• Check deck clearance: Ensure the blade tip doesn’t hit the deck or discharge chute when spinning. Measure from blade tip to deck edge—should be at least 1/2”.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you need a budget-friendly mulching blade set for a Scag 36” walk-behind and are comfortable balancing and installing them yourself. Skip them if you want guaranteed OEM fit, higher durability, or if you primarily bag or side-discharge—look for OEM or a higher-rated aftermarket brand instead.
