Heavy Duty Lawn Mower High Lift Blades 1759055YP Compatible with Snapper Simplicity Ferris Murray Jonsered Poulan Fit for 48" Cutting Decks Replace 1757303 1757303YP 1759055-3 Pcs

What It Is

This is a set of three high-lift replacement blades designed for 48-inch cutting decks on select Snapper, Simplicity, Ferris, Murray, Jonsered, and Poulan zero-turn and riding mowers. The high-lift profile increases airflow under the deck for superior grass discharge and bagging performance, making them ideal for thick, wet, or tall grass conditions.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these three things:

• Deck size: These blades are for 48-inch decks only. Measure your deck width from blade tip to blade tip across the mower.
• OEM cross-reference: They replace Snapper/Simplicity part numbers 1759055, 1759055YP, 1757303, and 1757303YP. Check your current blade’s part number stamped on the blade or in your owner’s manual.
• Physical dimensions: Each blade measures approximately 18.5 inches long (center hole to tip), with a 1-inch center hole and a 5-point star drive pattern. Measure your existing blade’s length, center hole diameter, and drive pattern to confirm compatibility. These are not universal—they will not fit decks requiring a different hole pattern or shorter/longer blades.

Key Things to Know

• High lift = more power draw. These blades require more engine power than standard or low-lift blades. On underpowered mowers (especially older or smaller engines), you may notice slower ground speed or bogging in heavy grass.
• Installation is straightforward but requires a torque wrench. Tighten the blade bolt to 70–90 ft-lbs (check your mower’s spec). Over-tightening can warp the blade or strip the bolt; under-tightening can cause the blade to come loose.
• Sharpening can alter balance. High-lift blades are more sensitive to imbalance than standard blades. If you sharpen them, use a blade balancer and remove equal material from both ends. Unbalanced blades cause vibration and can damage the spindle.
• Expect a ~3.9/5 rating from limited reviews. Some users report excellent bagging performance; others note vibration if the blades aren’t perfectly balanced out of the box. Check for warping before installation.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you have a compatible 48-inch Snapper, Simplicity, Ferris, Murray, Jonsered, or Poulan mower and you prioritize superior bagging or discharge in heavy grass. Skip them if you mulch regularly (use a dedicated mulching blade instead), have a smaller engine that struggles with high-lift blades, or want a universal blade—these are brand-specific. For the price, they’re a solid upgrade over standard blades for owners who bag or cut tall grass.
