What It Is

These are replacement blades for 52-inch Exmark and Scag commercial zero-turn mowers. The three-pack covers the standard three-blade cutting deck used in heavy-duty mowing.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower uses a 52-inch deck with three blades. This set replaces OEM part numbers: Exmark 96-344, 303495, 303527, 103-6580 and Scag 482878, A48108, 48108, 481707, 481711, 48185, 482462. Measure your current blade length (should be approximately 18 inches from tip to tip) and the center hole diameter (typically 5/8 inch). Confirm the blade pattern (straight or offset) matches your deck—these are standard flat blades for mulching or side discharge. Cross-check your model against the provided OEM list to ensure fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket blades can be slightly thinner or lighter than OEM. Check thickness before install—if too thin, they may bend or vibrate.
• Installation: Simple bolt-on replacement. Use a torque wrench to tighten to 70–90 ft-lbs. Mark each blade’s orientation with a marker to avoid mixing up left/right if your deck requires staggered positioning.
• Common gotcha: Some users report needing to ream the center hole slightly for a perfect fit on older spindles. Always test spin freely before tightening fully.
• Sharpness: These come sharp but may need edge dressing after first use if hitting stones or roots.

Should You Buy It

If you own a 52-inch Exmark or Scag with the listed OEM numbers and want a budget-friendly three-pack that fits and cuts well, this is a solid buy. Not ideal if you need exact OEM thickness or prefer premium hardened steel for heavy debris.
