DMSP2905 Set of 3 Heavy Duty Craftsman Simplicity Snapper Murray 50" Mower Blades 1708229 10094

What It Is

This DMSP2905 set includes three heavy-duty 50-inch mower blades designed for Craftsman, Simplicity, Snapper, and Murray lawn tractors. They’re built for cutting grass on large residential lawns or light commercial use, with reinforced steel for longer life and better durability than standard blades.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these four things:

• Deck size: These are exclusively for 50-inch cutting decks. Measure your deck width or check your mower’s model number—do not use on 46-, 48-, or 54-inch decks.
• Brand and model: Fits many Craftsman, Simplicity, Snapper, and Murray models (e.g., Craftsman 917 series, Simplicity Broadmoor/Regent, Snapper ZTR, Murray Select). Cross-reference your OEM part numbers: 1708229 (Craftsman), 10094 (Simplicity/Snapper), or 5321708229.
• OEM vs aftermarket: These are aftermarket blades, not OEM. They match OEM specs for length, width, and hole pattern but may differ slightly in finish or weight.
• Measurements: Each blade is approximately 25 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, with a 1-inch center hole and two 0.5-inch outer holes. Measure your old blade’s length, width, and hole spacing to confirm.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Heavy-duty steel (thicker than standard blades) resists bending on rocks or roots. Sharp out of the box, but expect normal wear after 10-15 hours of mowing.
• Installation: Easy DIY job with a socket wrench and blade removal tool. Torque bolts to 70-90 ft-lbs. Check that blades rotate freely after tightening.
• Common gotcha: Some users report slight balance issues—use a blade balancer before installing to prevent vibration and spindle wear. Also, verify your deck’s spindle orientation (some Craftsman models use a reverse-thread bolt).
• Lift vs mulching: These are high-lift blades, ideal for bagging or side-discharge. Not optimized for mulching—if you need fine clippings, look for a mulching blade set.

Should You Buy It

Buy this set if you have a 50-inch Craftsman, Simplicity, Snapper, or Murray lawn tractor and want durable, affordable aftermarket blades that handle thick grass and light debris well. Skip it if you need OEM-exact fitment, mulching blades, or if your mower uses a different deck size or bolt pattern.
