This is a set of three 20-1/2" Gator G3 mulching blades designed for 60" cutting decks on select Hustler tractors and riding mowers. They replace OEM part numbers 794230, 793935, 794214, 600901, 603992X, 793794, and 793794X. The G3 design uses a patented serrated edge and multi-step wing configuration to cut and recut clippings into fine mulch, reducing bagging needs and improving lawn appearance.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, verify three things:
- Deck size: Must be a 60" deck (three blades, each 20-1/2" long).
- OEM cross-reference: Confirm your mower uses one of these OEM part numbers: 794230, 793935, 794214, 600901, 603992X, 793794, or 793794X. Check your owner’s manual or current blade part number.
- Physical fit: Measure your existing blade length (center hole to tip) and ensure the center hole diameter matches (typically 5/8" or 7/8" – G3 blades usually have a 5/8" hole). Also check the blade thickness and lift height if your deck has tight clearance.
These blades are aftermarket replacements for Hustler tractors and some other brands using the same OEM numbers. Not compatible with all 60" decks – always cross-reference.
Key Things to Know
- Quality: G3 blades are known for durability and superior mulching. The serrated edge stays sharp longer than standard blades but can be harder to sharpen.
- Installation: Moderate difficulty. Use a torque wrench – tighten blade bolts to 70-90 ft-lbs (check your manual). The blades are heavy (3-4 lbs each), so support them during removal/installation.
- Common gotchas:
- Do not mix G3 blades with standard blades on the same deck – lift and airflow differ.
- Ensure blades are oriented correctly: the wing should face up toward the deck.
- If your deck has a baffle kit, the G3 may require removal for proper mulching action.
- Balance: Blades come pre-balanced, but it’s smart to check with a balancer after sharpening.
Should You Buy It
If you own a compatible Hustler or similar mower with a 60" deck and want top-tier mulching performance without bagging, this is a strong choice. The price is fair for a set of three heavy-duty blades, and the 4.6-star rating reflects reliable quality. Skip if you need standard lift blades for side-discharge or if your deck uses a different OEM number.
