Oregon 3 Pack 396-803 Gator® G6™ Blade 18-3/4"

What It Is

The Oregon 3 Pack 396-803 Gator G6 Blade (18-3/4") is a set of three mulching blades designed for EGO 56V cordless mowers. It’s built for high-lift mulching on residential lawns, not for bagging or side discharge.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check three things:

• Deck size: These are 18-3/4" long blades. They fit EGO mowers with 21" decks (e.g., LM2100, LM2102, LM2135, LM2142). Do not use on 20" or 22" decks.
• OEM replacement: Compatible with EGO part numbers 2822201001, 2822202001, and 2822204001. Verify your mower’s blade model on the blade itself or in the manual.
• Center hole: 1" hex hole. Measure your current blade’s center hole to confirm.
• Not universal: Will not fit other brands (Honda, Toro, etc.) without adapter – avoid forcing.

Key Things to Buy

• Quality: Gator G6 blades are heat-treated and coated for rust resistance. They stay sharp longer than OEM EGO blades.
• Installation: Easy if you have a socket wrench. Torque to 35-40 ft-lbs. Use a blade stop tool or wedge to lock the blade.
• Gotcha: These blades are heavier than stock EGO blades. Expect slightly reduced runtime (5-10%) due to higher inertia.
• Mulching only: They won’t bag well. If you bag frequently, stick with OEM or standard lift blades.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you primarily mulch and want a longer-lasting, sharper cut than EGO’s factory blades. Skip it if you bag often or have a non-21" EGO deck. At $73.61 for three, it’s a solid value for mulching-focused users.
