MTD Genuine Parts Blade Adapter Kit - Mower Blades 1997 and After

Excellent replacement for OEM part. I had damaged my old blade keyway retainer, so blade was not really attached to the crank like it should have been. Had it just about spin loose once, then I decided maybe I better not cut with it until it was replaced. This one slid right on and secured blade to mower as nature and industry intended. I feel safer now. : - )

This was a perfect fit on my Boelens by MTD 21" push mower. A quick Google search and I was able to get the torque specs and tighten the bolt down properly. Zero issues since installing it and mowing the lawn multiple times. It's a piece of metal. It seems to be the same material and quality as the original.

I had a cheap mower from Menards, a Pulsar PTG1221. This came with a weird, cheap blade adapter I couldn't find a replacement for. This fit perfectly on the 7/8" shaft. It was shorter than the collar from the previous one but fits and works ok. Super easy to install. Make sure if you're buying this to replace a pre-existing adapter you have or get a blade that fits the star pattern. I've seen some people complain about durability. I could imagine if you're hitting rocks or something that might be an issue, but as far as installing it and running it no issues. Torqued to 40lbs.

This item will NOT fit all lawn mowers. I have a Home Depot troybuilt lawn mower purchased in 2023 and after all the grief I went thru to get the old adapter of. I came to realize this part would not fit and is about 1/4" to small on the ID to fit my lawn mower. Had to put the old adapter back on, but at least i got to clean the blade. And I cant even return this part because it arrived so late.

This part fits to hold the lawnmower blade in a balance and tight on the motor shaft. First I tried to install the part onto the shaft. It didn't fit. I had to remove metal inside of the part. After many temp. installs, the part went on the motor shaft level and complete. This is why I didn't give 5 stars.

Two of these have broken on me in 2 years...and I couldn't be happier. One broke when I hit a grounded piece of rebar and the other a large rock. Both times this adapter did it's job and broke in half, SAVING MY SPINDLE AND BLADE. Many people give negative reviews to this product complaining that it is the weak point and keeps breaking. But that the point of it, to break when you hit something solid. When this breaks you then have to pay 6 or 7 dollars to replace it, instead of 80 - 100 dollars to replace a bent spindle or some random motor part that was detroyed due to the stress of the blade hitting something solid. The moral of the story is, either stop hitting solid objects in your yard while mowing, or stop complaining that you have to replace a $6 part from doing so and be thankful you aren't paying $100 to replace parts of the motor.

This does not fit a 2005 Troy Built with the Honda 160 motor. The shaft is 25 mm which would not begin to fit this. The hole in this product was slightly smaller than 23 mm of this product and the height was about half the factory one on my mower. description should of had the dimensions

I read the reviews that said the metal was weak and broke . The blade adaptor kit I got was manufactured by MTD, the company that builds the lawnmowers and parts. The parts I got are the same parts they use to build the lawnmower. These aren't parts made by a no name company. I put this blade adaptor on my Craftsman 140 CC mower ( the red one with high wheels- bought 2013) and used the lawnmower to cut heavy brush. It cut thru 1/2 inch size sticks on the ground for about an hour and worked perfectly fine. I'm clearing about a half acre field and I use a lawnmower and a Ryobi string trimmer with a brush cutter attachment. I go over heavy thickets with the lawnmower and it pulverizes the woody sections . The people who had broken parts had to be mowing at the lowest possible mower height. I have it at the highest height possible and I cut the grass really short.It's normal height grass now. I hit hard objects about 7 times in one hour and it stopped the mower each time. Each time it started up and ran perfect. This part is very strong and you won't break it cutting grass. If it didn't break with me cutting heavy thickets then it won't break on you.

Excellent product; Fits perfectly; Small engine mechanic told me that the adapter can break if you mow over a rock or curb. Just common sense to avoid them. This is OEM from Troy-Bilt but can fit other mowers including MTD of mine. I bought a universal 22 inch replacement blade from Atlas (Canadian Tire) which fits the adapter perfectly. The confusion is that there are multiple part numbers for the same part: 753-06315, 753-0588, 748-0376E, 748-0376C, 748-0376 fits MTD: 46 SP, 53 SP, 383 SP, 384 SP, 410, 508, 510, E 458, GES 45 Q, GES 46, GES 53, HBM 50, M 46, RP-21, SB 46, YM 4018 S, YM 5018 S, YM 5518 SE Replaces Old Part Numbers: 748-0376 748-0376A 748-0376B 748-0376C The curious thing is that it costs less even after exchange difference than to buy from Amazon.com and is half the price than Canadian Tire

Replaced this part on my lawnmower with a techumseh engine. Was a perfect fit and works well. Don’t understand the negative reviews including buyers having to hammer on this part. Clearly not the proper part for your lawnmower and likely was damaged while installing. I also installed a new blade.

Works as it should, fits well. We'll made

Efficaces et bonne pieces

Like many mentioned, it broke after 20 minutes on 1st usage. Adapter should be made of better material rather than some pewter variant.
