This Grasscool 21-inch mulching blade set (2-pack) is designed to replace Craftsman OEM part 406712/532406712 and fits Husqvarna 21-inch deck push walk-behind mowers. It’s intended for fine grass clipping recycling, not bagging or side-discharge.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, confirm three things:
- Deck size: Must be exactly 21 inches (measured blade tip to tip). This blade is 21” long with a 1” center hole and 5-point star drive pattern.
- Model numbers: Directly replaces Craftsman 406712, 532406712, and Husqvarna parts 165833, 175064, 189028, 532189028. Fits most Husqvarna 21” push mowers (e.g., LC221A, LC221RA, LC221RH) and Craftsman models using those OEM numbers.
- Blade type: This is a mulching blade (curved, with more surface area). If your mower currently uses a standard or high-lift blade, you may need to adjust deck height or swap to a mulching plug/cover.
Check your mower’s blade mounting system: Some Craftsman/Husqvarna decks use a single bolt with a star washer; others use a 5-point star pattern. This blade matches the star pattern—verify your mower uses that, not a 4-point or keyed hole.
Key Things to Know
- Material: Grasscool blades are made of hardened steel, but may be slightly thinner than OEM. Expect faster dulling if you hit rocks or roots regularly.
- Installation difficulty: Easy—lift mower, remove center bolt, swap blade, torque to 35-45 ft-lbs. Use a blade removal tool or block wood to prevent spinning. Recheck after first use.
- Balance: These blades are not always perfectly balanced out of the box. You may need to file or sand the heavy side to avoid vibration; a cheap blade balancer is recommended.
- Mulching performance: Works best with dry, short grass. Wet or tall grass will clump—raise deck height or make multiple passes.
Should You Buy It
If you need a budget-friendly mulching blade set for a 21” Craftsman or Husqvarna walk-behind and don’t mind occasional balancing, this is a solid value at ~$14 per blade. For heavy-duty use or commercial mowing, stick with OEM Craftsman or Oregon blades for longer life and better balance.
