Parts by type

Every category below lists what actually decides whether a part fits. If you already have a number off the old part, searching it is faster.

1 part listed

Mower blades

The cutting blade under the deck. Blades are chosen by length, center-hole shape, and whether the deck mulches, bags, or side-discharges — a blade that bolts on is not necessarily the right blade for how your deck moves air.

Blade length
Measured tip to tip. This is usually a little less than the mower’s advertised cutting width, so do not assume a 22 in. mower takes a 22 in. blade — measure the old one.
Center hole shape
Round, star, H-pattern, or bowtie. The center hole has to match the spindle exactly; an adapter is not a substitute.
Blade style
Standard/straight-edge, high-lift, mulching, or gator style. This changes how the deck moves clippings, not just how it cuts.

Before you start

Disconnect the spark plug wire before you go anywhere near the blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves — a dull mower blade is still sharp enough to open your hand. Torque the blade bolt to the manufacturer’s figure; a blade that comes loose at operating speed is dangerous.

Engine maintenance kits

A bundle of the service items an engine needs in one season — typically oil, an air filter, and a spark plug. Kits are matched to the engine, not to the mower, so two mowers with the same model number can take different kits.

Engine family
The kit is chosen from the engine’s own model and type numbers, which are stamped on the engine — not from the mower’s model number.
Serial range
When a mower model spans several production runs, the engine can change mid-run. Check your serial number against the range the kit is listed for.

Air filters

The engine’s intake filter. Chosen from the engine’s model and type numbers rather than the mower model.

Engine family
Read the engine’s model, type, and code numbers off the engine itself.

0 parts listed

Spark plugs

Chosen by thread size, reach, heat range, and gap. The gap in particular is specified by the engine manufacturer and often needs setting before installation.

Electrode gap
Set to the engine manufacturer’s figure with a gap tool. Plugs are not always gapped correctly out of the box.
Thread size and reach
A plug with the wrong reach can bottom out or leave the electrode in the wrong place in the chamber.

Drive belts

Transmission and deck belts. Chosen by length, width, and profile — a belt that is a quarter inch off will either not tension or will throw.

Belt length
Outside circumference. Measure the old belt rather than trusting a listing.
Belt width
Top width of the belt where it rides in the pulley.

2 parts listed

Handles and controls

Handle assemblies, bail levers, cables, and traction controls.

Serial range
Handle hardware is one of the parts that most often changes between production runs of the same model number.

Wheels and drive gears

Road wheels and the drive gears inside them. On a self-propelled mower the driven wheels are not plain castors — they carry the gear the transmission turns — so a wheel that bolts on is not necessarily a wheel that drives.

Wheel diameter
Measure the old wheel across the tyre. Front and rear are often different sizes on the same machine, and "high wheel" models differ from standard ones at the rear only.
Driven or idle
A driven wheel contains or engages a gear. Fitting an idle wheel in a driven position leaves you pushing the mower.
Serial range
Wheels and drive gears are among the parts manufacturers change mid-production without changing the model number.

2 parts listed

Covers and storage

Protective covers, sized by the machine’s cutting width rather than by an exact model match.

Cutting width
Covers are sold to fit a range of deck widths, so an exact model match is not required.

1 part listed

Fuel treatment

Stabilizers and treatments used to keep fuel usable through storage. Not model-specific.
