This genuine OEM sourced replacement mower blade. It is specially designed for use with Simplicity lawn mowers. Mulching blades are designed to circulate the grass longer so it can be cut into smaller pieces allowing them to decompose quicker, releasing nutrients into the soil. This part is made from high-quality steel and is sold individually. Over time blades will wear down, become dull or they may warp eventually requiring replacements. Refer to the owner's manual for your model to ensure the correct repair procedure.
