Know before you buy
These blades are designed as direct replacements for OEM part numbers 134149 and 138971. If your current mower manual lists either of these numbers, this set will be compatible with your Craftsman or AYP equipment.
The 3-in-1 design allows you to mulch, bag, or side-discharge your grass clippings. The blade geometry is specifically optimized to circulate clippings under the deck for finer mulching, which helps return nutrients to your soil.
Yes, the Gator 2 blades feature a high-lift cutting edge that creates a stronger vacuum effect. This pulls the grass upright for a cleaner cut and keeps the clippings suspended longer, resulting in a much finer mulch compared to standard flat blades.
This package includes a set of two blades. Before installing, ensure you have the necessary tools to secure the blades to your mower deck, as mounting hardware is not included.
Absolutely. These blades are engineered for standard duty use, making them an ideal upgrade for residential Craftsman and AYP mowers that require a more efficient cutting and mulching performance.
