The BlueStars 116-6358-03 is a set of two Gator-style mulching blades designed to replace the OEM Toro 120-9500, 120-9500-S, and 116-6358 blades. They are specifically made for the Toro Timemaster 30-inch walk-behind mowers and the Exmark ECKA30 commercial mower, intended for heavy mulching and bagging.
Fitment & Compatibility
Check these before buying:
- Deck size: Only for 30-inch decks. Will not fit 21-inch or 22-inch Toro models.
- Model numbers: Confirmed fit for Toro Timemaster models 20120p, 20199, 21199, 20200, 20122p, and Exmark ECKA30. Verify your mower’s model plate under the seat or on the deck.
- OEM cross-reference: Replaces Toro 120-9500, 120-9500-S, and 116-6358. If your mower uses any of these OEM numbers, the BlueStars set is a direct swap.
- Measurement: Each blade is 15 inches long (center hole to tip), 2.5 inches wide, with a 1-inch center hole and 0.25-inch thickness. Measure your old blade to confirm.
- Aftermarket note: These are not OEM Toro blades. Fitment is identical, but the steel and coating may differ slightly from factory parts.
Key Things to Know
- Quality & durability: Users report they cut well and hold an edge longer than some budget blades. The Gator design improves mulching but can be slightly louder than standard blades.
- Installation: Easy DIY job—requires a socket wrench and torque wrench (60-70 ft-lbs). Remove spark plug wire first for safety. No special adapters needed.
- Common gotcha: The blades are marked “this side up” and must be installed with the air lift wing facing the deck. Installing upside down will cause poor cut and vibration.
- Packaging: Comes as a 2-pack—enough for one 30-inch deck. If you have a 36-inch or larger mower, you’ll need two packs.
Should You Buy It
If you own a Toro Timemaster 30-inch or Exmark ECKA30 and want a reliable aftermarket mulching blade that’s cheaper than OEM ($24.99 vs $40+ for Toro branded), this is a solid buy. It’s best for homeowners who mow weekly and want better mulching than standard blades. Not ideal for commercial use where OEM consistency is critical—stick with Toro factory blades for that.
