2 Pack 9" x 5/8" Center Hole 3-Side Edger Star Blade, Heavy Duty Lawn Edger Blades Replacement for Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, MTD, Replaces 781-0748, 781-0748-0637, 7185767, 490-105-M017, 40-009

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of heavy-duty 9-inch edger blades with a 5/8-inch center hole and a 3-sided star design, designed for gas-powered lawn edgers to cut clean, straight edges along driveways, sidewalks, and flower beds.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify three things:

• Center hole diameter: Must be exactly 5/8 inch (common on most Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, and MTD edgers).
• Blade diameter: 9 inches – check your edger’s maximum blade size (some smaller units may require 8-inch blades).
• OEM cross-references: Replaces Craftsman/Troy-Bilt 781-0748, 781-0748-0637, MTD 7185767, and aftermarket numbers 490-105-M017, 40-009. Fits most rear-tine and stick edgers from these brands, but not all. If your edger uses a different mounting pattern (e.g., a keyed shaft or 7/8-inch hole), this won’t fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Heavy-duty steel with a 3-sided design means you can rotate the blade to a fresh edge three times before replacing, extending life significantly.
• Installation difficulty: Easy – typically uses a single bolt and washer. No special tools beyond a wrench or socket. Ensure blade spins freely after tightening.
• Common gotchas: Some edgers require a specific blade orientation (the star pattern faces forward or backward). Check your old blade’s direction before removal. Also, these are edger blades, not mower blades – do not use on a rotary lawn mower.
• Performance: Cuts through thick grass and light roots well, but may struggle with heavy rocks or thick tree roots – not a brush cutter.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you own a Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, or MTD edger with a 5/8-inch center hole and want a durable, cost-effective replacement that gives three cutting edges per blade. Avoid if your edger uses a non-standard shaft size or you need a blade for heavy-duty brush clearing.
