482878 Mower Blades Replace Ferris 21227S 5101756s 5021227 Scag 482462 481711 48108 Encore 481707 Compatible with Scag Tiger Cub Wildcat Turf Tiger 36 inch 52 inch Deck Lawn Mower (3Pack)

What It Is

This is a 3-pack of aftermarket 18-1/2-inch replacement mower blades designed for 36-inch and 52-inch Scag commercial zero-turn mowers and select Ferris models. They’re meant for routine blade swaps on heavy-use mowers cutting grass, weeds, and light debris.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your deck size is exactly 36 or 52 inches—these blades are 18-1/2 inches long and fit decks that use three blades. Check your OEM part numbers: they replace Ferris 21227S, 5101756s, 5021227, and Scag 482462, 481711, 48108, 481707. Common compatible models include Scag Tiger Cub, Wildcat, and Turf Tiger. Measure your existing blade length, center hole diameter (typically 1-inch), and thickness (usually 0.203 inches). Verify the spindle pattern matches your mower—these are straight blades with a standard center hole and oval drive holes. If your deck uses a different blade length or hole pattern, this kit won’t fit.

Key Things to Know

• Material & coating: These are heat-treated steel with a paint finish. They’re durable for residential/commercial cutting but not as hard as OEM high-carbon blades.
• Installation: Easy DIY job—just a 15/16-inch socket or wrench. Use a blade removal tool or wedge to lock the spindle. Torque bolts to 70–90 ft-lbs.
• Common gotchas: The center hole may be slightly tight on some spindles; file lightly if needed. These are not mulching blades—they’re standard lift blades. Check balance by hanging on a nail; if one side dips, lightly grind the heavy end.
• Performance: Good lift and cut quality for grass, but less effective on thick, wet grass or overgrown fields compared to premium OEM blades.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Scag Tiger Cub, Wildcat, or Turf Tiger (or compatible Ferris) with a 36- or 52-inch deck and want a cost-effective 3-pack for regular blade changes, this is a solid value. It’s not for heavy-duty commercial use or mulching—choose OEM if you need maximum durability or specific cut patterns.
