Stens 362-617 Toothed Blade Compatible With/Replacement For Bunton Requires 2 for 32" deck, Encore Requires 2 for 32" deck, Great Dane Requires 2 for 32" deck 038-5350-00, 038-5350-0050, PC1255 Mowers

What It Is

The Stens 362-617 is a toothed lawn mower blade designed for heavy-duty mulching or bagging on commercial walk-behind mowers. It fits 32-inch decks from Bunton, Encore, and Great Dane, and is typically used in pairs.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these specifics:

• Deck size: This blade is for 32-inch decks only. You will need 2 blades for a full set.
• Brand/model fit: Confirmed for Bunton, Encore, and Great Dane 32" decks. Not for other brands or deck sizes.
• OEM cross-references: Replaces Bunton 038-5350-00, 038-5350-0050, and Great Dane PC1255.
• Measurements: Blade length is 15.75 inches, center hole diameter is 0.75 inches, and thickness is 0.156 inches. Measure your current blade to confirm these match.
• Tooth pattern: This is a toothed (not straight) blade. If your deck uses a different blade style, it won’t fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Stens is an established aftermarket brand. Expect comparable durability to OEM parts at a lower price.
• Installation: Straightforward if you have a socket set and torque wrench. Tighten blades to 70-90 ft-lbs (check your manual). Use anti-seize on the center bolt to prevent rust.
• Common gotcha: Toothed blades dull faster than standard lift blades on rocky or sandy soil. Check for damage after each mow.
• Pair requirement: You must buy two blades for a 32" deck; one blade won’t balance the cut.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a Bunton, Encore, or Great Dane 32" commercial mower and need a reliable, budget-friendly replacement for mulching or bagging. It’s a solid aftermarket option that matches OEM specs. Skip it if your deck is a different size or you need a standard lift blade for side discharge.
