Grasscool 16-5/8" Mower Blades for Husqvarna 48" Deck — Five-Point Star Center, Direct-Fit Replacement

These Grasscool blades give you a precise, ready-to-install option when your Husqvarna or compatible zero-turn mower needs fresh cutting edges. Built to the same center-star mounting pattern and deck-size profile as the original equipment, they suit a wide range of 48" deck machines from Husqvarna, Craftsman and Poulan lineups. Before ordering, verify your mower's original blade MPN and length to ensure this 16-5/8" (approx. 422.3 mm) blade is the correct match; some Husqvarna models use a different 16-1/4" size, which these blades will not replace.

How do I confirm these blades fit my mower?

Fit is determined by three things: blade length, center hole pattern, and deck compatibility. These Grasscool blades measure 16-5/8" and feature a five-point star center hole that aligns with many Husqvarna 48" decks and specific part numbers.

• Blade length: 16-5/8" (422.275 mm)
• Center hole: five-point star pattern matching OEM hubs
• Compatible decks: designed for 48" zero-turn mower decks

Which mower models and part numbers are compatible?

Grasscool Z248F blades are compatible with numerous Husqvarna, Craftsman and Poulan machines that originally used part numbers 532180054 or 588811002. They replace several OEM numbers but explicitly do not replace blades listed as 539113425 (which is shorter).

• Common compatible OEM numbers: 532180054, 588811002, 173920, 180054, 575938201
• Works with Husqvarna models like Z248F, YTH2148, YTH2348 and related 48" decks
• Also fits some Poulan and Craftsman 48" zero-turn models

What are the blade dimensions and material details?

These replacement blades are made to meet the dimensional profile required for effective lift and cut on 48" decks. The specification list provides key measurements so you can compare against your stock blades before installation.

• Total blade length: 16-3/4" (manufacturer-stated profile)
• Air lift height: 1-7/32"; width: 2-1/2"; thickness: 13/64"
• Cutting edge length: 5-11/16"; five-point star center aperture

Do I need to remove the factory paint before installing?

The protective coating on Grasscool blades is applied to reduce rust in storage and to keep edges safe during handling. You do not need to strip it off for the blade to work; normal operation removes any superficial coating quickly.

• Paint is protective—not required to be removed
• Coating wears off during initial use and does not affect cutting
• Always wear gloves when handling and install with proper torque

Who is this for? These Grasscool Z248F replacement blades are aimed at owners and service technicians who maintain 48" zero-turn mowers from Husqvarna, Craftsman and Poulan families and who need an OEM-style, direct-fit blade in the 16-5/8" size. If your mower's original blade uses part number 532180054 or 588811002 and accepts a five-point star center, these blades are a practical, cost-effective replacement. If your mower uses the shorter 16-1/4" (MPN 539113425) blade, choose the proper size to avoid fit issues.
