This blade set replaces John Deere blades M145476, M127673, M127500, and UC22009, and fits 48-inch decks across ZTrak, EZtrak, SST18, and select Tractor Series. The blades deliver a crisp, even cut and maintain consistent airflow across the deck. The 17-1\/4 inch length and 2-1\/2 inch width work with the standard 5\/8 inch center hole for a secure fit and balanced mowing experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReal-life mowing often means quick pickups, less clumping, and a tidier lawn appearance. The high-lift design generates upward airflow that helps lift blades of grass for a cleaner cut. With improved airflow, you may notice better bagging and mulching performance, especially on medium to tall grasses. The result is smoother passes, reduced overlapping, and a tidier finish that lowers post-mow cleanup tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatible models and deck coverage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplaces John Deere blades M145476 and UC22009 for 48-inch decks on ZTrak and EZtrak lines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with a wide range of Deere tractors including Z425, Z435, Z445 EZtrak and X-series tractors with 48-inch decks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey specifications and fit details help you verify compatibility before ordering.

This protective coating will wear away quickly during initial mowing and should not be removed.
