Pro Parts Place, PPP 3 USA Blades Compatible with Toro TIMECUTTER SS5060, SS5000, MX5060 ZTR Lawn Mower 79016 50" Decks

What It Is

A set of three 20.5-inch replacement blades for Toro TimeCutter SS5060, SS5000, and MX5060 ZTR mowers with 50-inch decks. These aftermarket blades cut grass by spinning at high speed under the deck, designed for residential and commercial mowing on standard turf.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Exact deck size: 50 inches only—will not fit 42", 54", or 60" Toro decks.
• Model match: Compatible with SS5060, SS5000, MX5060; also fits Toro 79016 OEM blade part number.
• OEM vs aftermarket: These are aftermarket, not Toro genuine. Check that the center hole diameter (usually 3/4" to 1") matches your mower’s spindle. Measure your existing blade’s length, thickness, and hole pattern before ordering.
• What to verify: Toro uses different blade designs (mulching, high-lift, standard). Confirm your deck uses three blades, not two, and that the blade offset matches your deck’s spindle orientation.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: 4.4 rating from 13 reviews—good, but limited sample size. Expect medium-grade steel; not as durable as OEM Toro blades for heavy commercial use.
• Installation: Simple with a socket wrench. Torque blades to 55-70 ft-lbs. Use a blade lock or wedge wood between blade and deck to prevent spinning.
• Common gotcha: These may need balancing. If your mower vibrates after install, remove and re-check balance. Also, aftermarket blades often have slightly different air-lift profiles, which can affect bagging or discharge performance.
• Sharpness: They come sharp but dull faster than OEM in sandy or gritty conditions. Resharpen after 10-15 hours of use.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you own a Toro TimeCutter SS5060, SS5000, or MX5060 with a 50-inch deck, want a budget-friendly replacement set, and don’t mind slightly shorter lifespan than OEM. Skip them if you mow commercially, need guaranteed bagging performance, or prefer the exact fit of Toro genuine blades—pay the extra $15-20 for OEM instead.
