3PK Oregon 396-806 G6 Gator Blades - 52" Gravely 00273100, 00450300, 03253800

What It Is

The 3PK Oregon 396-806 G6 Gator Blades are a set of three mulching blades designed for 52-inch zero-turn mowers, specifically engineered to replace OEM blades on Gravely models like 00273100, 00450300, and 03253800. They use a serrated edge to create a finer clip for improved mulching and bagging performance.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: 52 inches. Confirm your mower deck measures exactly 52" cutting width.
• OEM replacements: Direct fit for Gravely part numbers 00273100, 00450300, and 03253800. Cross-check your current blade part number or consult your mower’s manual.
• Measurements: Each blade is 18.25" long, 2.75" wide, with a 1" center hole and 0.25" thickness. Measure your old blade’s length, hole diameter, and thickness to verify.
• Brand match: These are Oregon (not EGO) blades—the listing brand is likely a listing error. They fit Gravely, not EGO-brand mowers.
• What to check: Ensure your deck uses three blades (not two or four). Also verify spindle bolt pattern—these use a standard 1" hole with two offset pins (0.31" diameter, 3.5" center-to-center).

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Oregon G6 Gator blades are known for durability and sharpness, lasting 1.5–2x longer than standard OEM blades on moderate use.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty. You’ll need a socket wrench and blade removal tool (or block of wood to lock the blade). Torque bolts to 70–90 ft-lbs.
• Gotcha: The serrated edge can leave a slightly rougher cut on fine turf compared to standard blades—best for thick, coarse grass or mulching.
• Balance: Always balance new blades before installing; Oregon blades are typically well-balanced, but verify with a blade balancer.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you have a 52-inch Gravely zero-turn (models using 00273100, 00450300, or 03253800) and want durable, long-lasting mulching blades that handle thick grass and debris well. They’re a solid upgrade over OEM for heavy-duty mulching, but skip them if you need a pristine, manicured finish on fine turf.
