ZALANA 187254 Lawn Mower Medium Lift Blades Set Replace Husqvarna Craftsman Poulan 187256 532187256 532187254 for RZ5424 RZ5426 YTH24V54 YTH26V54 GTH26K54T - 54" Deck Lawn Mower (3 Pack)

What It Is

This ZALANA 187254 set is a medium-lift blade replacement for 54-inch mower decks, designed for residential mulching and bagging on Husqvarna, Craftsman, and Poulan Pro tractors. The medium-lift profile balances clipping discharge and bagger fill without excessive power draw.

Fitment & Compatibility

Deck size: 54 inches only – measure your deck’s blade tip-to-tip length. These are 3-pack blades, so you need exactly three for a 54” three-blade spindle setup.

Cross-reference OEM numbers: Replaces Husqvarna/Craftsman/Poulan 187254, 187256, 532187254, and 532187256. Common on models like RZ5424, RZ5426, YTH24V54, YTH26V54, and GTH26K54T.

Aftermarket vs OEM: Aftermarket – not genuine Husqvarna. Price is significantly lower. Check that your spindle bolt pattern matches (standard 5-point star center hole). Measure your existing blade’s length (approx. 18.5” tip-to-tip for 54” decks) and thickness (typically 0.1875”). If your current blade has a different center hole shape (round or square), these won’t fit.

What to measure: Blade length (center hole to tip), center hole diameter (usually 5/8” or 7/16”), and bolt hole pattern. Also verify your deck’s spindle orientation – these are for three-blade, not two-blade, decks.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy – jack up mower safely, remove old blades with a socket wrench, torque to 70-90 ft-lbs. Use a blade removal tool or block of wood to prevent spindle rotation.
• Material and durability: Hardened steel with a painted finish – medium duty. Not for heavy commercial use or very thick/wet grass. Expect 1-2 seasons under normal residential use.
• Common gotcha: Medium lift can cause clumping in very wet grass. For dry, bagging-heavy use, these work well. For thick, damp lawns, consider high-lift blades.
• Balance check: After mounting, spin each blade by hand – no wobble or vibration. If unbalanced, the blade may need rebalancing or replacement.

Should You Buy It

If you own a 54-inch Husqvarna, Craftsman, or Poulan Pro tractor with a three-blade spindle deck and need a budget-friendly replacement that works well for mixed mulching and bagging in normal residential lawns, this set delivers solid value. Avoid it if you need high-lift performance for heavy wet grass or if your deck uses a non-standard center hole pattern.
