795757 Mower Blades Fit for Hustler 48" Deck, 038-5350-00 Gator Mulching Blade Replaces for Bad Boy, Scag 481706 482877, Bunton PL4205, Great Dane D18086, 3 Pack

What It Is

This is a 3-pack of 48-inch deck mulching blades, designed to replace OEM blades on Hustler, Bad Boy, Scag, Bunton, and Great Dane zero-turn mowers. The Gator-style blade design lifts and recuts grass clippings for finer mulch, reducing bagging frequency.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these four things:

• Deck size: Only fits 48-inch cutting decks. Measure your deck width (blade tip to tip) if unsure.
• OEM numbers: Cross-references Hustler 038-5350-00, Bad Boy 481706/482877, Bunton PL4205, Great Dane D18086, and Scag 481706. Check your current blade’s stamped part number.
• Blade measurements: Length ~20.5 inches, center hole diameter 1 inch, thickness 0.204 inches. Measure your existing blade if not listed.
• Deck type: Designed for standard 48-inch commercial or residential zero-turn decks. Not for 42-inch or 54-inch decks.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket Gator-style blade with hardened steel. Comparable durability to OEM, but may be slightly thinner (0.204 vs some OEM 0.250). Fine for residential/commercial light use.
• Installation: Easy DIY with a socket wrench and blade removal tool (or block of wood). Torque bolts to 70-90 ft-lbs. Note: blade orientation matters—curved edge faces up toward deck.
• Common gotchas:
  • These are mulching blades, not high-lift bagging blades. Expect less discharge distance if using side chute.
  • 3-pack covers a standard 3-blade deck. For 2-blade decks, you’ll have one spare.
  • Check that your spindle bolt pattern matches (usually 5/8-inch hex bolt). If your deck uses a different bolt size, you’ll need adapters.

Should You Buy It

Buy if you have a 48-inch Hustler, Bad Boy, Scag, Bunton, or Great Dane zero-turn and want affordable mulching blades for regular lawn maintenance. Skip if you need bagging-specific high-lift blades or if your deck uses non-standard blade dimensions. For the price, it’s a solid value for DIY replacement.
