Toro Genuine OEM Parts - BLADE-21.6 INCH 110-6568-03

What It Is

This is a genuine Toro 21.6-inch replacement blade (part #110-6568-03) designed for mid-size walk-behind mowers with a 22-inch stamped steel deck. It’s a standard lift blade for mulching or bagging grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm three things:

• Deck size: This blade fits 22-inch Toro decks only—not 21-inch or 22-inch decks from other brands. Measure your deck’s cutting width (blade tip to tip) to verify.
• Model series: Works with Toro Recycler and Super Recycler models (e.g., 20333, 20334, 20339, 20340) and select TimeCutter zero-turn models. Check your mower’s model number on the deck sticker or owner’s manual.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a genuine Toro blade, so it matches the original blade’s hole pattern (center hole + two offset holes) and thickness. Aftermarket “universal” blades often require drilling or spacers—this drops straight on.
• Measure your old blade: If your current blade is 21.5 to 21.7 inches long, this will fit. Verify the center hole diameter is 1 inch (standard for Toro).

Key Things to Know

• Quality: OEM steel is heat-treated and balanced—better edge retention and less vibration than cheap aftermarket blades. Expect 25–30 hours of cutting before noticeable dulling.
• Installation difficulty: Easy (15–30 minutes). Use a 15/16-inch socket, torque to 55–65 ft-lbs. The blade’s offset wings must face up toward the deck. A common mistake is installing upside down—check the raised edge points toward the mower housing.
• Gotcha: This blade is not for Toro 22-inch Personal Pace mowers with the “SmartStow” feature—those use a shorter 20.5-inch blade. Double-check your model number.
• Sharpening: You can sharpen it 2–3 times, but once the cutting edge is less than 1/8 inch wide or the blade is bent, replace it. A bent blade will cause uneven cutting and vibration.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible 22-inch Toro mower and want a drop-in replacement that cuts cleanly and lasts, this is the right choice. It’s pricier than generic blades, but the no-hassle fitment and consistent performance justify the cost for most homeowners. Skip it if you have a different deck size or brand.
