What It Is

This MAXPRO mulching blade set is designed for 22-inch Toro Recycler mowers, replacing OEM part numbers 104-8697, 108-9764, and others. It chops grass clippings finely for nutrient recycling, ideal for frequent mowing without bagging.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower has a 22-inch cutting deck and uses a 2-blade system. Check your current blade’s part number against the list: 104-8697, 104-8697-03P, 104-8697-03, 108-9764-03, 59534P, 59534, 108-9764, 108-9764-03P, 131-4547-03, 131-4546-03, or 108-9764-02P. Measure blade length (roughly 22 inches center-to-center), center hole diameter (typically 1 inch), and ensure the blade shape matches your deck’s mulching baffle. This set is not compatible with non-Recycler Toro models or 21-inch decks.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made from heat-treated steel, but aftermarket blades may dull faster than OEM Toro blades. Inspect for balanced weight before installation.
• Installation: Medium difficulty—requires a socket wrench and blade removal tool. Torque bolts to 55-65 ft-lbs; over-tightening can strip threads. Always disconnect spark plug first.
• Common Gotchas: These blades are sharp and slightly curved upward for mulching; installing them upside down or on a non-Recycler deck will reduce cutting performance. Check for deck warping or debris buildup before mounting.
• Performance: Best for dry grass; wet or thick grass may clog the deck. Pair with a clean, sharp blade for optimal leaf shredding.

Should You Buy It

If you own a 22-inch Toro Recycler mower and want an affordable mulching blade replacement for regular lawn maintenance, this MAXPRO set is a solid budget pick. It’s not for heavy-duty or commercial use, but for home lawns with frequent mowing, it matches OEM performance at a lower price.
