(Ship from USA) TORO Timecutter Blade Set OEM 50'' Timecutter Blade Kit 79016 Blade 115-4695 /ITEM NO#I-86/Q-UI754403463

What It Is

This is the OEM Toro 50-inch blade set (part #79016) for Timecutter zero-turn mowers. It includes three blades designed to fit 50-inch cutting decks, intended for residential and light commercial mowing on Toro Timecutter series mowers.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: 50 inches only. Do not use on 42-inch, 44-inch, or 60-inch decks.
• Model check: Fits Toro Timecutter models with a 50-inch deck (e.g., SS5000, MX5050, Z5000). Verify your mower’s model number on the deck or frame sticker.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an OEM Toro part (replaces 115-4695). Aftermarket blades may differ in thickness, heat treatment, or hole pattern—OEM ensures exact fit.
• Measurements: Each blade is roughly 16.5 inches long, with a 5-point star center hole and 0.5-inch diameter. Measure your old blade’s length, hole shape, and thickness before ordering.
• Cross-check: Confirm your deck part number (e.g., 131-8470) or call Toro support with your mower’s serial number if unsure.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: OEM blades are heat-treated for durability and sharpness. They may not be as thick as some aftermarket heavy-duty options, but they match factory specs for lift and cut.
• Installation: Easy—requires a socket wrench (typically 5/8-inch or 15/16-inch) and a block of wood to lock the blade. Torque to 50-60 ft-lb. No special tools needed.
• Common gotchas: Blades are sold as a set of three—do not mix with other lengths or styles. The star center hole is specific to Toro spindles; aftermarket blades with a round hole won’t fit. Check blade orientation (sharp edge faces rotation direction).
• Performance: Balanced from factory, but balancing is recommended after sharpening. Expect a clean cut on grass up to 4 inches tall; thicker or wet grass may require slower mowing.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Toro Timecutter with a 50-inch deck and want a guaranteed fit, minimal hassle, and factory-level cut quality, this OEM set is the right choice. It’s priced fairly for OEM parts, though aftermarket options exist for less. Avoid it if you have a different deck size or want a thicker blade for heavy-duty commercial use.
