Overview
The Oregon 596-351 is a 19-inch Gator G5 mulching blade made to replace the stock blades on Cub Cadet 54-inch cutting decks. Oregon builds the G5 to stay sharper and hold up longer than a standard manufacturer blade, making it an upgrade rather than a like-for-like swap. Each blade is 3 inches wide and 0.203 inch thick with a 3/4-inch round center hole.
