Echo CLM-58V lawn mower replacement blade

A replacement 21" blade for an Echo 58-volt lawn mower (CLM-58V series) can be hard to find.  Echo lists the part number as 681938001, for mower models CLM-58V4AHCV, CLM-58V4AH and CLM-58VBT.

Gardner Inc sells that blade for $21.99.  Jack's Small Engines lists it for $19.99, but describes it as a Homelite blade (though it's the correct part number).

According to Home Depot, ALB-58V is also a valid part number for that blade, and they sell it for $19.97.  Handy Store also sells that part number, for the same $19.97 price.

Outside of those four vendors, you might not have much luck finding a replacement blade.  Amazon doesn't currently offer it (under either part number) and eReplacementParts has a listing for it, but says it's "not available for retail sale."

Great deal on Toro Recycler tune-up kit + blade

If you need any common maintenance parts for your Toro Recycler mower, the Briggs & Stratton tune-up kit with Toro blade may be a good investment.

The kits sells on Amazon right now for $23.96, and it includes parts that are worth much more than that combined.  A new Recycler blade typically costs between $15 and $20 by itself, and this kit comes with a blade, an air filter, a spark plug, and a bottle of Briggs & Stratton engine oil.  Here are the part numbers for the different parts that are included, so you can make sure they fit your Recycler model:

- Blade: 131-4547-03 (replaces blade #108-9764-03)
- Air filter: 491588S
- Spark plug: J19LM (Champion)
- Oil: 18 ounces of SAE 30 engine oil

This tune-up kit is compatible with many different models of Toro mowers, including the following models: 20110, 20111, 20112, 20113, 20330, 20331, 20332, 20333, 20334, 20339, 20350, 20351, and 20352.

UPDATE: I received one of these kits today, and there are some noticeable differences from how the product is described on Amazon:
   - The spark plug is not a Champion J19LM but rather an NGK 5798 BR2-LM; compatible and functionally equivalent, but not identical.
   - The oil is not Briggs & Stratton oil, but rather Toro oil.  Again, not a big deal -- it's still 18 ounces of SAE 30 engine oil -- but it's still not as described.

One interesting thing to note is that the air filter comes unwrapped.  While that's probably okay, it's not ideal... you don't want the thing responsible for keeping dust and dirt out of your engine sitting open and exposed in a cardboard box.

On the upside, the kit comes with a small package (0.5 oz) of Toro fuel treatment (enough for a single use).

I would still recommend this kit as a good value, especially if you're going to be buying the blade anyway.

Briggs & Stratton 498170 carburetor on sale at Amazon

Many different push lawn mowers use the Briggs & Stratton 498170 carburetor.  If you have the time and the know-how, rebuilding it with a carb rebuild kit isn't hard.  But if you're pressed for time, or if you just want a whole new carb, you can typically find a replacement one online for between $25 and $45.

However, right now on Amazon, the Briggs & Stratton OEM 498170 carburetor is selling for $20.85 -- much lower than its usual price.  That's less than twice the price of the rebuilt kit, and it only takes a couple of minutes to replace the whole carb.  This is the cheapest price I've seen for a brand new, OEM 498170 carburetor.  Even a non-OEM Stens replacement carb at MowTownUSA costs seven bucks more than this OEM model.

If your mower uses this carb, now is the time to get one.  Even if you don't need it yet, you'll eventually need to either rebuild or replace it, and this price probably won't be beat any time soon.
