What It Is

These are three high-lift blades designed for Husqvarna and AYP 54-inch cutting decks, intended for bagging or side-discharge mowing where superior grass lift and discharge are needed. They replace OEM part number 532187256.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: 54-inch cutting deck only. Measure your deck before ordering.
• Models: Fits AYP/Husqvarna models including GTH26K54T, RZ5424, and others using OEM blade 187256 or 532187256.
• Blade dimensions: 18.5 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, 0.25 inches thick, with a 5/8-inch center hole and 3/8-inch offset.
• OEM vs aftermarket: These are aftermarket replacements. Verify your current blade part number matches 187256 or 532187256.
• Quick check: Look up your mower’s model number or measure an existing blade.

Key Things to Know

• High-lift design: Provides strong airflow for bagging but can increase engine load and wear on belts. Not ideal for dry, dusty conditions.
• Installation difficulty: Easy. Requires a socket wrench and torque wrench. Torque center bolt to 70-90 ft-lbs.
• Sharpening: Can be sharpened 2-3 times before replacement. Balance after each sharpening.
• Common gotcha: These blades may not fit decks with low clearance or mulching kits. Check blade-to-deck clearance before installing.

Should You Buy It

Buy if you need reliable high-lift blades for a 54-inch Husqvarna or AYP mower, especially for bagging or side-discharge in thick grass. Avoid if you primarily mulch or have a low-clearance deck. At $43.99 for a set of three, they’re a solid value for the price.
