797696 601124 High Lift Mower Blades Set for Hustler 54" Mower, Replaces 797704 797712 601012 601013 602416, Compatible with Raptor SD Fastrak Super Z Series (3PACK)

What It Is

This is a 3-pack of high-lift mower blades designed for Hustler 54-inch mower decks. The aggressive blade profile increases airflow under the deck, improving grass lift for a cleaner, more even cut—especially in tall or damp grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Must be a 54-inch Hustler deck. Measure your blade length—these are typically 18.5 inches long, but verify against your current blade.
• Models: Compatible with Hustler Raptor SD, Fastrak, and Super Z series with a 54-inch deck.
• OEM cross-references: Replaces Hustler part numbers 797704, 797712, 601012, 601013, 602416. Also directly replaces the 797696/601124 OEM set.
• Center hole & spindle: Standard 5-point star center hole. Fits Hustler spindles without modification.
• Check before buying: Confirm your deck size (measure from blade tip to tip across the deck). Verify your current blade part number against the list above. If you have a 48" or 60" deck, these won’t fit.

Key Things to Know

• Cut quality: High-lift design provides superior suction for bagging or side-discharge, but generates more dust and can leave striping in dry, thin grass.
• Installation: Straightforward swap—use a torque wrench to 70-90 ft-lbs. No adapters or spacers needed.
• Durability: Aftermarket blades at this price point are generally good for 1-2 seasons of residential use. Check for warping after hitting hidden obstacles.
• Noise & power: High-lift blades are louder and slightly increase engine load. Not ideal for low-horsepower mowers.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you have a 54-inch Hustler with a high-lift deck (Raptor SD, Fastrak, Super Z) and want affordable OEM-equivalent performance for bagging or thick grass. Skip if you need low-lift blades for mulching or have a smaller deck.
