Additional Information

The Husqvarna High-Lift Blade, part number 532180054, is designed for lawn tractors with a 48-inch deck. Measuring 16-2/3 inches, this blade features curved tips that increase airflow, helping to lift clippings and discharge them cleanly through the chute or into a bagging system. Its 2-in-1 design makes it suitable for both side discharge and bagging configurations.

If your lawn shows signs of uneven cuts or clumps of grass left behind, a dull or worn blade may be the cause. Replacing the blade helps restore consistent mowing performance and supports even grass distribution. Regular inspection and timely replacement help prevent strain on other mower components.

Always wear heavy gloves when replacing the blade, and place a block of wood between the blade and deck to keep it from turning as you loosen or tighten the bolt. Park the mower on a flat surface and disconnect the spark plug before beginning to reduce the risk of accidental startup. With proper maintenance, this blade helps keep your mower running efficiently and your lawn looking clean and uniform.
