Description
Overview:
This Blade Carrier is a genuine Masport part made to hold and drive the mower's cutting blades safely and accurately. Built from durable metal for long service life, it sits between the crankshaft and the swing‐back blades to provide a stable, true running platform. It is designed for Masport walk‐behind lawn mowers including the 800AL (2015) and 575AL, restoring correct blade position and reliable cutting performance when the original carrier is worn, bent or damaged. A direct replacement by OEM No. MA980653 (also referenced as 980653), it offers the right fit and geometry for Masport decks, helping maintain balance, reduce vibration, and protect the engine and operator during regular mowing.
