8TEN LawnRAZOR Mower Blade for AYP Craftsman Husqvarna 22 inch Deck 701213 850973 532406713 (Medium Lift) 2 Pack

What It Is

The 8TEN LawnRAZOR is a medium-lift replacement blade set (2-pack) designed for 22-inch cutting decks on AYP, Craftsman, and Husqvarna lawn tractors. It’s suited for general residential mowing—good balance of lift for bagging and discharge without excessive power draw.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: 22 inches (must measure your deck; only fits this size).
• OEM cross-references: 701213, 850973, 532406713 (Craftsman/Husqvarna).
• Measurements: Blade length 22 inches, center hole 7/8-inch diameter, offset 1 inch, thickness 0.1875 inch (3/16 inch).
• Check before buying: Verify your deck model number (e.g., 917 series for Craftsman) and blade mounting pattern—this is a single-bolt, 7/8-inch hole design. Not for universal or multi-hole spindles.
• Aftermarket vs OEM: 8TEN is a third-party brand; fitment is confirmed for listed OEM numbers, but double-check your exact blade part number.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: 8TEN uses heat-treated steel with a protective coating; rated 4.5/5 stars for durability and sharpness out of the box. Some users report slight imbalance—balance check recommended before install.
• Installation: Straightforward swap. Use a torque wrench to tighten the center bolt to 30-40 ft-lbs (check your mower manual). No special tools beyond a socket wrench and blade removal tool.
• Common gotchas: The medium-lift design may not lift wet or tall grass as effectively as high-lift blades. Ensure blade bolts are not cross-threaded; use thread locker if recommended by your mower manual.
• Pricing: At ~$15 per blade, it’s cheaper than OEM but comparable to other aftermarket options. Check if your deck needs a specific blade offset (this one is 1 inch).

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you have a 22-inch AYP/Craftsman/Husqvarna tractor and want a reliable, affordable medium-lift blade for regular dry grass mowing. Skip it if you need high-lift for wet/tall grass or have a different deck size or spindle pattern. Balance check before use is wise.
