Scag 6PK Genuine OEM 18" Cutter Blades 482878 for 52" Deck Compatible with 481707, 48108, 482462, 481711, 48185, A48108, A48185 Fits Tiger Cub, Turf Tiger, & Wildcat

What It Is

This is a set of six genuine OEM 18-inch cutter blades for Scag 52-inch decks, designed for heavy-duty commercial mowing on Tiger Cub, Turf Tiger, and Wildcat models. They replace worn blades to restore cut quality and reduce vibration.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only for 52-inch Scag decks using six blades (three pairs). Not for 48", 61", or 72" decks.
• OEM part numbers: Directly replaces 481707, 48108, 482462, 481711, 48185, A48108, A48185. Verify your existing blade part number (stamped on blade or in manual) matches one of these.
• Model check: Fits Tiger Cub, Turf Tiger, and Wildcat with 52" deck. Confirm your mower’s deck model (e.g., “SCZ” or “STT” prefix) if unsure.
• Measurements: Each blade is 18" long, 2.5" wide, with 0.25" thickness and a 1" center hole. Measure your old blade for length, width, and hole size before buying.
• OEM vs aftermarket: These are genuine Scag parts – not aftermarket. Expect tighter tolerances and better balance than generic alternatives.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need a socket wrench, torque wrench (set to 70–90 ft-lbs), and possibly a blade puller if rusted. Always use thread-locker on bolts.
• Common gotcha: The six-blade pattern requires correct pairing. Each pair must be installed opposite each other (180° apart) to maintain balance. Mark positions before removal.
• Quality: Heat-treated steel with hardened edges – lasts longer than standard blades, but still dull faster in sandy or rocky soil. Rotate or sharpen every 10–15 hours of use.
• Warranty: Genuine Scag parts carry a manufacturer warranty; keep receipt and original packaging for claims.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Scag 52-inch commercial deck and want reliable, balanced blades that match factory specs, this set is a no-brainer. It’s ideal for landscapers or serious homeowners who mow frequently and prioritize cut quality over saving a few dollars on aftermarket parts. Avoid if you need blades for a different deck size or prefer cheaper alternatives.
