Today we'll be looking at a #Husqvarna #YTH24V48LS Riding Lawn mower that has a 48" Fabricated Steel Mower Deck.
Some models of this mower (YTH24 or 26V48) were sold with a Stamped Steel Mower Deck, and there will be a difference in the blades you can use.
I believe the LS is what designates the Fabricated Steel Deck, but don't quote me on that. These riding mowers came with a 24hp or 26hp engine.
The issue I had, was Husqvarna's internal IPL (illustrated parts listing) system defaulted back to the mulch kit for the Stamped Steel Deck, which lead to me ordering the wrong blades for a customers riding lawn mower.
After some investigation, here's what I found...
Stamped Steel 48" Deck;
Mulch Kit with Plastic Plug and 3 blades: 531309642
Hi-Lift: 532173920 (STENS 340-322 will work)
Mulch: 532173921 (STENS 340-091 will work)
Fabricated Steel 48" Deck;
Mulch Kit with Metal Cover, Metal Insert and 3 blades: 965894003 or 539113341
Hi-Lift: 539113425 (STENS 350-458 or Rotary 12123 will work)
Mulch: 522037401 (Rotary 14208 will work)
It's important to note that Oregon has replacements for the mulch blades for a 48" fabricated deck, however, the width was listed 3" instead of 2.5" so there may be interference.
Oregon also lists the lengths of some 48" stamped steel deck blades as being 16 11/16" which is even longer than the 16 5/8" blades. This, in addition with a slightly wider blade, may result in interference with the mower deck, or mulch kit insert.
I'm recommending you order the OEM or STENS blades listed above, as these are guaranteed to fit!

Huge question. At 8:08 the Copperhead blades in the photo from the rotary store shows the blades stamped with model numbers & the “teeth” facing up or towards the camera. I’ve always thought that without a blade stamped bottom that the numbers stamped indicated which side faces down. I’ve never used blades with teeth before but I have a set just like in the photo (except 2 for a 42 inch riding mower). It seems like those teeth should face upwards towards the deck even though the blade curved the opposite way. It just feels wrong to have the teeth facing down but that’s the side that’s stamped. Thank you in advance if you can offer any advice. You definitely get detail & have noticed that little things get written up a certain way & suddenly ppl are buying the wrong parts. 👍
@@r.williamcomm7693 teeth always go up, towards the deck, just like the wing on a lift blade!
The blade from Oregon for the 48" Fabricated Deck is 595-087 G5 Gator Blade
Rein is correct a real nightmare. Cudos to our customer for understanding all the issues we encountered, and thanks to him for ordering the additional 3 mulching blades. This was a very good video that hopefully viewers can appreciate for the time and aggravation you have just eliminated for them!
Yes, he was very understanding. Thanks for watching!
Good day fellows I wonder when Jake goes to sleep if he dreams about numbers.
Wow this was confusing, I don't need or have one, but interesting to see what problems other people run into.
I have gray hair & something like this would only make it alot worse. Good video Thanks
@@donvoll2580 My hair is pure white Don thanks for the comment
Another great video! Customers always act like I am crazy when I ask for a product number to make sure I am getting them the right blades. If they only knew how important all that double checking is.
I've never ran into this issue before, so I had to share my experience. In the end, customer is happy and I was paid for my time. Plus I have some extra blades in stock now. MTD is good for putting multiple decks in their IPL's and also specify fabricated or stamped, electric or manual PTO, different sizes etc. Thanks for watching!
Also, we pulled off high lift blades that were installed on this unit with a mulching kit. He said it came like that when he bought it... I'm now wondering if someone else also had trouble finding the correct blades, so they decided to just run the original high lift blades, even with the mulch kit installed... Could that have lead to the original PTO clutch failing, because the deck got loaded up with grass 🤔 never use high lift blades with a mulch kit, you're just asking for trouble!
Thank you I have a 52" fabricated Deck and I was about to order blades tomorrow you saved me a lot of trouble
Wow, what a nightmare! My first thought was getting out the angle grinder and cutting disk and making sure to balance them well before mounting! I learned a lot in this video, so thanks! 👍🔧🧰
Yes we balance all new blades before selling or installing them! Thanks for watching!
I applaud you for all that work and sharing this information.....it's hard sometimes with the amount of work that goes into looking stuff up!
Stens and CPT/Husqvarna appreciated it too, figured I'd film this because it was slightly frustrating. Thanks for watching!
Good to know and thanks for sharing not only with us, but your parts vendors too. If they all correct it where they should then it should save a bunch of time, money and hassle over the long term.
Yes especially since they'd have to refund those people down the road, so I always make a phone call or send an email with the information necessary. That's why all my vendors are so good to me, and I never have an issue refunding parts. Thanks for watching!
Excellent information. Thanks for all your hard work chasing this down.
Any time, thanks for watching!
There used to be a phrase called Going Postal, this headache could start another phrase called Going Small Engine Mechanical. You did really well
Jake with the research you put into, everybody seems happy now brother... good job 👍🏼
Thanks for being a regular John still waiting on that first repair video.
It’s my pleasure Mr Wayne, the channel is always nice to watch.
I may have to fly you in for my first one for hand shots. 🤣👍🏼
Thanks John
@@Big_Johns Good idea and with proper promotion of my being on your video you should hit the 1k Subscriber mark in a week eh?
Very true, just the mention of your name should bring an academy award or something. 🤣👍🏼
Thank you so much for pointing this out!!! I have been wrestling with this for a while now!!!!
That's why I made the video! I do this for a living and it gave me a hard time!
What a mess that was for you Jake. Hopefully after you did all the leg work for them they can get that corrected! 👍😎🎥
Yes, they said they'll update their internal IPL and Stens should also be updating the product listing. Thanks for watching.
I use the gator blades on my older john deere and my husqvarna both have stamped decks. With the john deere moisture isn't an issue even wet grass doesn't clog the deck but the husqvarna clogs with even some evening dew while mowing. The oem blades on the husqvarna clogged also
WOW! Thanks for your research and solution to the problem.
Any time, thanks for watching!
Oh how frustrating!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
A lot of difficult research and it's appreciated.
Took a while but we eventually got to the bottom of it, thanks for watching!
Wow that is crazy all that trouble for those blades. If they just put the correct information to get the parts anyone needs especially a reputable dealer like husqvarna
i am happy i watched this
Elephant in room..... I know this was a BLADE video. BUT. that foot pedal with the little metal bracket on it.... a REVERSE PEDAL attached to the forward pedal.... LOOKS very interesting. How does it work? Does it make the reverse better with this setup?
ANOTHER TOP notch video. Lots of investigating 🔎. But EP FOUND THE ANSWERS LIKE NORMAL. . CHEERS CHUBBY BUTCHER
Eliminator ive got a question what is the bracket that bolts under the mower that keeps the pto from turning called
Anti rotation bracket, prevents them from spinning when the engine is running.
Thanks bud I watch all your videos good job keep them coming
Have Husqvarna tractor YT48DXLS with 48 in fab deck. I would like to use Oregon Gator G5 blade . Can you tell me which 16 1/4 in blade I should use from Oregon Gator ? Thanks
595-087
I have a ts248xd with the clear cut welded deck. I installed the plug and the containment pieces on the bottom. I doesn't really mulch that well at the higher settings. The mulching blades with the "jagged fins"... do you think they make a difference? Is there a blade you would recommend for me to try out? I watched your video and the deck looks older than mine so I just want to get the right blades.
I would definitely get the gator blades, they seem to do a much better job than the curved mulching blades.
Do you have a model number for those blades?
@@geraldsagona7810 no I don't have the number for your model riding mower, you'll have to either call Husqvarna with your info or do the research as I did online. Husqvarna didn't list the info I needed, but maybe if you Google your model number with parts diagram after it, you may find what you're looking for.
Thanks good info
Yep she was a real dreadful situation on this one Hank thanks for watching
Thanks for watching!
👍👍👍
Hey don't take this as an insult. A tip how to pronounce Husqvarna. When you say Husqvarna it sounds like you are adding an "s" Hussqvarna. If you use the English/American for house. Like this Houseqvarna, it will be "perfect". Hus (in Swedish) is the same as house. Right, I'm Swedish 😉
Sounds to me like someone at Husqvarna needs to learn how to run their job as far given someone the right part or maybe knowing the difference between a stamped deck and a fabricated deck. Lol
Just like I thought, never easy to find the correct part. Same with other style or type of models and other companies. I have the stamped version, they gave me the extra set of blades for either or. Should I be happy? No, it’s mind boggling to see the different models and length with “teeth”. Too much Bull shit my friend, however, my model is a year old now and honestly, I use the mulched blade they provided me, and have better luck cutting without the cover for the vortex. Is it mulching? Yes and no, yes because I want a smooth cut, no, because the design sucks. Years ago, I had a Craftsman that was built by this Mfg. Husqvarna. Much easier to work on the older model than this newer model. My craftsman was a 1999 model and the only reason I change him out was the hydrostatic transmission. The new mower is fast, however, believe it or not, the other model cut better with the mulching blade, cleaner cut. I live on a half acre across the river in the Detroit Suburbs. Thanks for those 20 model numbers that are a mess. Yes, I know, it’s all part of the model game these manufacturers play. Again, just too much bullshit. Thanks for blowing my mind, it’s all good! LOL!
Glad we were able to provide some information that helped you out. Yes you are 100% correct it is easier to work on the older machines just like the older cars and trucks. They were also manufactured with heavier materials back in the day and lasted a long time. Remember the 283cc engine you could not blow it up so they discontinued making them.
I'll be sure NOT to buy a Husqvarna riding mower. If it's this difficult to buy some blades for their tractors, it's NOT worth the trouble. 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🥴
I believe just with this model for some reason, as I mentioned to other viewers, I've never had this issue before. Thanks for watching!
All that agrovation to find the right blades for the mower pan that came on your mower👎😠
Yes unfortunately. Turns out we pulled off high lift blades that were installed on this unit with a mulching kit. I'm now wondering if someone else also had trouble finding the correct blades, and could that have lead to the original PTO clutch failing, because the deck got loaded up with grass 🤔 just some thoughts, thanks for watching!
@@EliminatorPerformance well at least you have the right blades for the customer
