What It Is

The Aeagle 482877 mulching blades are a set of three aftermarket blades designed for 48-inch zero-turn mowers. They replace OEM part numbers 038-5350-00, 038-5000-00, 482461, and 795757, and are intended for mulching grass clippings into fine particles for lawn nutrition.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only fits 48-inch cutting decks. Measure your deck width before purchase.
• Brands/models: Compatible with Scag Tiger Cub / Freedom Z (48"), Bad Boy ZT / CZT / Elite, Maverick, Fastrak, and Raptor SD (48").
• OEM cross-reference: Replaces Scag 482877, 482461, 795757; Bad Boy 038-5350-00, 038-5000-00.
• Measurements: Blade length ~18.5", center hole diameter ~1", and thickness ~0.25". Verify with your current blade.
• Set size: Comes as a set of 3 blades (one per spindle). Ensure your deck uses three blades.

Key Things to Know

• Installation: Moderate difficulty. Requires a socket wrench and blade removal tool. Torque to manufacturer specs (typically 70–90 ft-lbs). Sharp edges—wear gloves.
• Quality: 4.3/5 stars from 54 reviews. Users note good durability for residential use, but some report slight balance issues requiring aftermarket sharpening.
• Gotcha: These are mulching blades (curved, with more surface area), not standard lift blades. They reduce bagging/discharge efficiency but improve fine clipping distribution.
• Fitment check: Always measure your current blade length and center hole diameter. Some users report minor fit issues on older Bad Boy decks with worn spindles.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you own a 48-inch zero-turn from Scag, Bad Boy, or compatible brands, and you prioritize clean mulching over bagging. They’re a solid budget alternative to OEM blades for residential mowing, but verify your deck model and blade dimensions first. Skip them if you need high-lift blades for wet grass or bagging.
