What It Is

This is a 22-inch mulching blade for AYP (American Yard Products) walk-behind lawn mowers, designed to cut grass and recirculate clippings for fine, nutrient-rich mulch. It replaces OEM part numbers 141114 and 532141114.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check these three things:

Deck size: This blade fits only 22-inch cutting decks. Measure your deck’s cutting width (blade tip to tip) or verify the model specs.
OEM replacement: It directly replaces AYP/Sears/Craftsman part 141114 (also 532141114). If your mower uses that OEM number, it’s a drop-in fit.
Measurements: Blade length is 22 inches, center hole diameter is typically 7/8-inch (common for AYP), and the blade thickness is about 0.2 inches. Confirm these match your existing blade—especially the hole size and offset (if any).
Brand fit: Fits many AYP-built mowers sold under Craftsman, Husqvarna, Poulan, and other brands with a 22-inch mulching deck. Not for zero-turn or riding mowers.

Key Things to Know

Quality: Steel construction is durable for residential use, but not heavy-duty for commercial mowing. Expect good mulching action on dry grass.
Installation: Easy if you have a socket wrench and a blade removal tool (or block the blade). Torque to 30-50 ft-lbs—don’t overtighten. Use the original hardware (washer, bolt).
Gotchas: Mulching blades work best with a mulching plug installed and deck set to 2-3 inches. Wet or tall grass may clog—mow more often. Also, this is a low-lift blade (less suction), so bagging performance may be reduced.
Balance: New blades are balanced from factory, but check after sharpening. Unbalanced blades cause vibration and bearing wear.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you have a 22-inch AYP/Craftsman walk-behind mower with part 141114 and want affordable OEM-grade mulching performance. Skip it if you need a high-lift blade for bagging or a heavy-duty blade for commercial use. For the price and rating, it’s a solid value for residential mulching.
