MaxPower 331814S Blade for 48" Cut John Deere, Sabre, Scott's Replaces OEM # M127500 and M145476

What It Is

The MaxPower 331814S is a replacement blade for 48-inch cut riding mowers, designed for mulching or bagging grass on residential lawns. It fits select John Deere, Sabre, and Scott’s models that use OEM part numbers M127500 or M145476.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify three things:

• Deck size: This blade is only for a 48-inch cutting deck. Measure your deck if unsure.
• Model list: It fits John Deere models like L100, L110, L120, L130, and Sabre/Scott’s equivalents (e.g., 1642HS, 1742G). Check your mower’s manual or OEM part lookup for M127500 or M145476.
• Blade dimensions: The blade is 20.5 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, with a 1-inch center hole and 0.5-inch offset. Measure your old blade to confirm these match.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a direct replacement for OEM M127500 and M145476, but aftermarket blades may vary slightly in thickness or balance. Always compare to your current blade.

Key Things to Buy

• Quality: Made from heat-treated steel, but some users report faster dulling than OEM blades. Sharpen or replace more often if mowing thick or wet grass.
• Installation: Requires a socket wrench and torque wrench (50-60 ft-lbs recommended). No special adapters needed.
• Common gotcha: The 1-inch center hole fits most spindles, but older John Deere decks may use a 5/8-inch hole. Measure your spindle before buying.
• Mulching vs bagging: This blade works for both, but for pure mulching, consider a dedicated mulching blade with more lift.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a budget-friendly replacement for a 48-inch John Deere, Sabre, or Scott’s mower and don’t mind slightly shorter blade life than OEM. It’s a solid choice for standard residential cutting, but skip it if your deck uses a non-standard center hole or you require heavy-duty mulching performance.
