116-6358-03 Blade for 30'' Deck, Compatible with T oro TimeMaster 30, TurfMaster 30, E xmark 30'' Walk Behind Mower, Replace 120-9500-03, 116-6358, 116-6358-S, 120-9500, 120-9500-S, 2-Pack

What It Is

This is a replacement blade set (2-pack) for 30-inch walk-behind mower decks, specifically designed for Toro TimeMaster and TurfMaster models, plus Exmark 30-inch walk-behinds. It’s a direct aftermarket alternative to OEM blades, intended for standard mulching and bagging on residential and commercial turf.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm these three things:

• Deck size: Only fits 30-inch decks. Measure your deck width if unsure—this will not work on 21-inch, 22-inch, or 36-inch mowers.
• Model check: Compatible with Toro TimeMaster 30 (e.g., 21199, 21200), TurfMaster 30 (e.g., 30101), and Exmark 30’’ walk-behinds (e.g., LZ30KC). Verify your model number on the mower’s data plate.
• OEM cross-references: Replaces Toro/Exmark part numbers 120-9500-03, 116-6358, 116-6358-S, 120-9500, and 120-9500-S. If your current blade has any of these stamped on it, this set is a direct swap.
• Measurements: Each blade is roughly 16.25 inches long with a 1-inch center hole and 5-point star drive. Measure your old blade’s length and center hole shape to be sure.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs. OEM: At $18.99 for a 2-pack, this is cheaper than OEM Toro blades. Reviews note it’s slightly thinner steel than factory—good for budget, but may dull faster on sandy or rocky lawns.
• Installation: Easy DIY job. Use a 15/16-inch socket or wrench on the blade bolt. Torque to 70–90 ft-lbs. The star drive pattern prevents slipping if properly seated.
• Balance: Some users report needing to balance these blades before install. Use a simple blade balancer—if one side dips, file the heavy side slightly.
• Common gotcha: The blade orientation matters—the curved tips must face upward toward the deck when installed. Wrong side up kills cutting performance and can damage the spindle.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a Toro TimeMaster 30 or Exmark 30 walk-behind and want a low-cost, functional replacement for routine blade swaps. It’s not the toughest option for heavy commercial use or rocky terrain, but for residential mowing on standard grass, it delivers good value and a proper fit.
