The original blade part number (159267) isn't listed in the description but I found through careful measurement that it appeared it would fit and indeed when I did install it, everything matches up, clears and works. I was a bit disappointed that the blade looked nothing like the photo (the 3 serrations on the back of the blade in the photo aren't on the blade). In fact, the blade looked very much like the original, with a 's' like bend in the blade's cutting surface. Looking at the blade I was prepared to be disappointed with its performance. However, the blade has turned out to be excellent. When bagging, I immediately noticed that the bag was 'ballooning' more than in the past, indicating that the blade was generating a lot more wind (lift) than the old one. The bag also filled much fuller before the mower stopped bagging. I can't speak to the additional durability related to the Fusion process yet but so far I'm happy. The blade has provided a meaningful upgrade to my mower and made up for some shortfalls in the mower's cutting performance.
