Rotary 3 Blades for Snapper 1-7036, 5020843, 5020843A, 7017036YP, 32" 48" Deck

What It Is

This is a set of three rotary mower blades designed for Snapper commercial and residential walk-behind mowers with 32-inch or 48-inch cutting decks. They replace OEM part numbers 1-7036, 5020843, 5020843A, and 7017036YP, and are suited for medium-to-heavy grass cutting.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck Size: Fits Snapper 32" and 48" decks only. Measure your deck width before ordering—these will not work on 36", 42", or 52" decks.
• Model Fit: Compatible with Snapper models using the listed OEM numbers. Check your mower’s parts manual or existing blade for the stamped part number.
• OEM vs Aftermarket: This is an aftermarket blade, not genuine Snapper. It matches OEM dimensions but may differ slightly in material or coating.
• Measurements: Each blade is approximately 16.5" long (center hole to tip). Verify blade length, center hole diameter (typically 7/16" or 1/2"), and thickness (usually 0.1875") against your old blade before installing.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Rated 4.7/5 from 23 reviews. Users report good durability and balance, but some note the steel is slightly thinner than OEM—expect faster wear in sandy or rocky soil.
• Installation Difficulty: Easy. Requires a socket wrench and blade removal tool (or a block of wood to prevent spinning). Torque bolts to 70-90 ft-lbs.
• Common Gotchas:
  • These are not universal—double-check your deck’s spindle spacing. Some Snapper decks use offset blades; these are straight.
  • Always sharpen or replace blades in sets to avoid vibration. Check balance with a blade balancer.
  • Aftermarket blades may not have the same heat treatment as OEM, so inspect for bending after heavy use.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Snapper 32" or 48" deck mower and want a budget-friendly replacement that works well for regular home lawn care, this set is a solid choice. Avoid it if you need exact OEM specs or cut heavy commercial-grade grass daily—you might prefer genuine Snapper blades for longer life and precision balance.
