7103288YP Mulching Blade Set for M urray 22" Deck Mowers Compatible with JS36 JS46 NJS26 BTXPV22 Snapper Lawn Mower Blades 22 inch Replaces 7103288, 7103288BZ, 7103288BM

What It Is

This 22-inch mulching blade set (part 7103288YP) is designed to replace OEM blades on Murray, Snapper, and compatible 22" deck walk-behind mowers. It chops clippings finely for nutrient recycling, ideal for homeowners who mow frequently and want to skip bagging.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Must be exactly 22 inches (measure your deck’s cutting width, not the blade tip-to-tip length).
• Models: Fits Murray JS36, JS46, NJS26, BTXPV22, and Snapper mowers with 22" decks. Also replaces OEM numbers 7103288, 7103288BZ, 7103288BM.
• Measurements: Blade length is 22", center hole diameter is typically 1" (verify yours). Check your spindle’s hole size and blade offset (this set is likely a standard flat or slight offset design).
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a Snapper-branded aftermarket replacement, not OEM Murray/John Deere. It matches OEM specs but may differ slightly in thickness or balance.

Key Things to Know

• Installation: Moderate difficulty. You’ll need a socket wrench and a torque wrench (target 40–50 ft-lbs). Always lift the deck and disconnect the spark plug first.
• Quality: 4.5/5 stars from 187 reviews – users report sharp edges out of the box and good durability for residential use. Some mention they’re slightly lighter than OEM, which can reduce blade strike force in heavy grass.
• Mulching performance: Works best if you mow dry grass and keep blades sharp. Dull mulching blades tear turf and leave clumps.
• Gotcha: Double-check that your mower uses a single-bolt or two-bolt pattern. This set is single-bolt (centered hole). If your spindle has two bolts, you need a different blade.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a 22" Murray or Snapper walk-behind and want a budget-friendly, well-reviewed mulching blade that performs reliably for weekly mowing. Avoid if you need OEM exactness for warranty purposes or have a non-standard spindle hole size.
