MTD Genuine Parts Blade
Best high-lift replacement for vintage 38-inch mower decks.
These high-lift blades are the essential refresh for older 38-inch decks that struggle with airflow. While they lack the specialized edge of modern mulching-only designs, their dual-function versatility makes them the most reliable choice for homeowners who frequently switch between bagging and side discharge.
