Snapper 22" Push Mower Blade 7103288 #2000

What It Is

The Snapper 7103288 #2000 is an OEM replacement blade for Snapper 22-inch push mowers. It’s designed for standard residential lawn cutting and mulching on medium-sized yards.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm three things:

• Deck size: This blade fits only 22-inch Snapper push mower decks. Measure your deck width – if it’s not 22”, this blade won’t work.
• Model series: Works with Snapper 2000-series push mowers (e.g., models like P21500, P21600). Check your mower’s model number on the deck or owner’s manual.
• Blade measurements: The blade is 22 inches long, with a 1-inch center hole and a 7/8-inch offset. Measure your old blade’s length, hole diameter, and offset to verify match.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an OEM Snapper part, so fit is guaranteed for compatible models. Aftermarket alternatives (e.g., Oregon 91-028) may fit but check exact specs.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: OEM-grade steel, balanced from factory. Holds edge well for a season of normal use.
• Installation difficulty: Easy – one bolt per blade. Use a torque wrench to 35-40 ft-lbs; overtightening can strip the bolt or crack the blade.
• Common gotcha: The blade is directional – the “Snapper” logo should face the deck, not the ground. Installing upside down ruins cut quality and can damage the mower.
• Sharpening: Can be sharpened 2-3 times before replacement. Once the blade is bent, chipped, or under 1/4 inch thick at the cutting edge, replace it.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Snapper 22-inch 2000-series push mower and want a hassle-free, exact-fit OEM blade with proven durability, this is the right choice. It’s priced slightly above aftermarket options but eliminates fitment guesswork and delivers consistent performance. For older or non-Snapper decks, look for a universal blade instead.
