7019515 High Lift Lawn Mower Blade Compatible with Snapper 28" Deck Rear Engine Rider, Replaces 1-9515, 7019515BMA, 7019515BZ, 7019515BZYP, 050200

What It Is

This is a high-lift lawn mower blade designed to increase airflow and suction under the deck, improving grass clipping discharge and bagging performance. It fits Snapper rear-engine riders with a 28-inch cutting deck, ideal for mulching or collecting leaves and tall grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

Always verify these measurements before ordering:

• Deck size: Fits exclusively Snapper 28-inch rear-engine rider decks (model numbers typically start with “2812” or “28”).
• OEM cross-references: Replaces Snapper part numbers 1-9515, 7019515BMA, 7019515BZ, 7019515BZYP, 050200.
• Blade dimensions: 28.0 inches overall length, 2.5 inches wide, 0.1875 inches thick, with a 5/8-inch center hole and a 7/16-inch offset hole for the blade adapter.
• Check your existing blade: Measure your current blade’s length and center hole diameter. If yours has a 5/8-inch round center hole and a secondary offset hole, this will likely match. If your blade has an oval or different hole pattern, it won’t fit.

Key Things to Know

• High lift = more power draw: This blade creates strong suction, so your engine must have enough torque. On older or low-horsepower Snapper riders, it may bog down in thick grass.
• Installation tip: Use a torque wrench to tighten the blade bolt to 70–90 ft-lbs. The blade adapter (sometimes sold separately) must be clean and undamaged for proper centering.
• Quality note: This is an aftermarket blade (not OEM Snapper). It’s made of heat-treated steel but may be slightly thinner or less balanced than the original. Check for vibration after installation.
• Common gotcha: The blade is stamped, not forged, so it can bend if you hit a rock or stump. Inspect regularly for cracks or warping.

Should You Buy It

If you need a budget-friendly replacement for a Snapper 28-inch rear-engine rider and don’t mind a slight drop in durability compared to OEM, this blade works well for bagging and light mulching. It’s a solid pick for homeowners, not for commercial use or rocky terrain.
