2PK Oregon 195-070 High Lift Blades for 46" Snapper 704425

What It Is

This is a set of two Oregon 195-070 high-lift lawn mower blades designed for a 46-inch cutting deck. High-lift blades create stronger upward airflow to improve grass clipping discharge into the bag or out the side chute, making them ideal for bagging or dealing with tall, thick grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm:

• Deck size: These blades fit 46-inch decks only. Measure your deck width if unsure.
• Mower brand/model: Direct fit for Snapper models using OEM part 704425 (e.g., Snapper 46" zero-turn or rear-engine riders). Not compatible with EGO battery mowers despite the brand name in this listing—this is an Oregon aftermarket blade, not an EGO product.
• Measurements: Each blade is approximately 22.5 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, with a 1-inch diameter center hole and a 7-point star drive pattern. Measure your old blade’s length, width, hole size, and drive pattern to verify.
• OEM vs aftermarket: Oregon is a reputable aftermarket brand; these match OEM specs but may have slight differences in steel thickness or lift angle.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy—requires a socket wrench and possibly a blade removal tool. Always disconnect the spark plug and wear gloves.
• Sharpening: High-lift blades dull faster than standard blades in sandy or gritty soil. Plan to sharpen every 10–15 hours of use.
• Balance check: New blades can be slightly unbalanced out of the box. Use a blade balancer or a nail in the wall to check; file the heavy side if needed.
• No mulching: These are not mulching blades. They will leave clumps if you try to cut grass short and let the clippings fall.

Should You Buy It

Buy this set if you have a 46-inch Snapper mower, need to bag grass or discharge clippings efficiently, and want a durable, well-priced aftermarket option. Skip it if you prefer mulching or have a different deck size or drive pattern.
