AYP 532406713 Blade 22" Replaces 406713

What It Is

The AYP 532406713 is a 22-inch replacement blade for riding lawn mowers, designed for medium-duty residential cutting. It’s a standard (non-mulching, non-gator) blade, best suited for side-discharge or bagging setups on Craftsman, Husqvarna, and other AYP-built mowers.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only fits mower decks that accept a 22-inch blade. Measure your existing blade tip-to-tip before ordering.
• Center hole: 1-inch round with a 5-point star pattern. Verify your spindle matches—common on AYP (American Yard Products) decks.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is genuine AYP (OEM) part, replacing old number 406713. It’s a direct swap for many Craftsman, Husqvarna, Poulan, and Murray mowers from the 2000s onward.
• Check your model: Look up your mower’s model number (under seat or on deck) and cross-reference with AYP 532406713. Common compatible decks: 42-inch, 46-inch, and 48-inch (using two blades per deck).

Key Things to Know

• Installation is straightforward—just a single bolt per blade. Use a torque wrench to 55–65 ft-lbs; over-tightening can strip the spindle.
• Balance is critical. After sharpening or if the blade seems off, use a blade balancer. An unbalanced blade causes vibration, cuts poorly, and wears spindles.
• No mulching capability. This is a lift blade for discharge/bagging. If you need mulching, look for a “high-lift” or “mulching” blade with a different profile.
• Check for deck damage. A bent spindle or uneven deck can make a new blade cut poorly. Inspect before installing.

Should You Buy It

If you have an AYP-built riding mower (Craftsman, Husqvarna, Poulan) with a 22-inch blade and a 1-inch star center hole, this is a reliable, direct-fit OEM replacement. It’s a solid choice for basic cutting and bagging—skip it if you need mulching or have a non-AYP deck.
