What It Is

This is a 22-inch mulching blade kit (model 587199603) designed to replace OEM blades on Husqvarna and Craftsman walk-behind mowers. It’s for users who want finer grass clippings that decompose quickly, reducing bagging frequency. The set includes a painted reaper blade with notches (587199601) for improved airflow and cutting efficiency.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower deck measures exactly 22 inches—blade length must match deck size. This blade fits specific Husqvarna models: HU725AWD, HU700H, HU700F, HU800AWDH. Also compatible with select Craftsman 22-inch deck mowers. Check your owner’s manual or existing blade part number against 587199603. The blade has a 1-inch center hole and a 0.25-inch thickness; measure your spindle and bolt diameter to ensure a snug fit. Aftermarket replacement—verify OEM numbers (e.g., Husqvarna 587199601, 587199603) for cross-reference.

Key Things to Buy

• Quality: Painted steel with notched design; reviews note decent durability but may dull faster than OEM premium blades. Expect 2–3 seasons with regular use on typical lawns.
• Installation: Easy—remove old blade, align new one with center hole and notches facing upward, torque bolt to 35–50 ft-lbs. Use a blade removal tool and wear gloves.
• Common Gotchas: Not for 21-inch or 20-inch decks. The “painted” finish may chip; check for balance before installing. Some users report vibration if blade isn’t centered perfectly.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a compatible Husqvarna or Craftsman 22-inch mower and want an affordable mulching blade that reduces bagging. It’s a solid value for average-sized lawns, but if you need heavy-duty, long-lasting steel, consider OEM or higher-end aftermarket blades.
