8TEN LawnRAZOR Blade for Husqvarna Rider 1200 970 H-15 506966310 506966301 (Mulching) 3 Pack

What It Is

This is a 3-pack of 8TEN LawnRAZOR mulching blades designed for Husqvarna Rider 1200 and 970 H-15 lawn tractors. They replace OEM part numbers 506966310 and 506966301, and are intended for mulching (fine grass clipping recutting) rather than bagging or side-discharge.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify:

• Deck size: Fits 42-inch cutting decks on the Rider 1200 and 970 H-15. Measure your deck width to confirm.
• Model fit: Direct replacement for Husqvarna Rider 1200 and 970 H-15. Not guaranteed for other models without cross-referencing.
• OEM vs aftermarket: These are aftermarket blades that match OEM specs. Check your current blade part number (stamped on blade) against 506966310 or 506966301.
• Measurements: Blade length is ~21 inches, center hole diameter ~1 inch, thickness ~0.1875 inches. Confirm these match your existing blade.

Key Things to Know

• Mulching performance: The LawnRAZOR design has a higher lift and curved edge for finer clippings, but may not work well in wet or tall grass—requires dry conditions.
• Installation difficulty: Easy if you have a socket wrench and a blade removal tool (or block of wood to prevent spinning). Torque to 70–90 ft-lbs.
• Balance check: Aftermarket blades can be slightly unbalanced. Spin-test before installing; return if vibration occurs.
• Durability: 8TEN uses tempered steel with a protective coating. Expect 20–30 hours of mulching before dulling (less in sandy soil).

Should You Buy It

If you own a Husqvarna Rider 1200 or 970 H-15 with a 42-inch deck and primarily mulch your lawn, this 3-pack is a cost-effective, high-rated option. It’s not for bagging or side-discharge use, and you’ll need dry grass for best results. For the price, it’s a solid value over OEM replacements.
