The part number may be stamped on the blade. If you find a
stamped part number but are unsure if it is the original blade from the
manuafcturer leave the manufacturer as "All Available" above so that the stamped
blade part # can be searched for across aftermarket replacement blades as well
as the Original manufacturer.

Blade length: Measured diagonally |

  |
Blade Center Hole:What is the configuration of the holes
on the blade where it is attached to the mower deck? |
|
|
| Many blades will have a round hole in the center of the blade and you will need to know its diameter. | |
 |
| 5 or 7 Point Star Center holes may be 5 or 7 point star shaped. | |
  |
| Square or Rectangular The MTD built blades on many walk behind lawn mowers have a "bow-tie" hole. In this case the Oregon replacement blade will have a rectangular center hole which will fit on the bow-tie pattern on the blade adapter. | |
 |
| MTD Blades The MTD® built blades (Bolens, Cub Cadet, Troy-bilt, White, Yard Machine, and Yardman) may have a 6 point star. Oregon replacement blades will have a “Y” shaped center hole which will fit exactly on the 6 point star on the blade spindle. | |
 |
| The two sizes of the 6 point star. If your blade spindle has a bolt and lock washer that holds the blade to the machine you would use the 11/16" star or “Y” blade. | |
 |
| If your blade is secured with a large flange nut then you would use the 5/8" star or “Y” blade. | |
