    Indiana,

    Thank you for asking a question at Answer Army.  The current blade that comes on the WE261 is a high lift mulching blade.  This blade is the same one that you would use for mulching or bagging.  The part number for the blade is 532 42 85-00 and is ordered along with the bagging system if necessary.

    Thank you for using Answer Army!

      The above does not seem to be correct.

      I purchased a weedeater one (we261) over two years ago. It came with a standard 26" blade designed for mulching.

      A few months later I ordered the bagging kit Model # 960730027 Internet # 202205838 (found at home depot). This kit come pre packaged with a specially designed high lift blade. This blade unlike the mulching blade has "Air fins" on it which create more of a air pressure vortex that pushes the grass up through the tubing going into the baggers. The standard blade was clogging up the tube.

      A year later and I need a replacement HIGH LIFT blade for my we261. The official parts dept has kept me on hold several times, at first they never heard of this blade. not sure how an official parts dept has never heard of one of thier own items. Then they swore the bagging kit does not come with a blade, which is completly false! then 30 minutes later they think they dont carry the blade because the bagger is so new that no one has asked for a new highlift replacement part??????   I explained the bagger is not new, ive had mine for over two years now. 

      How are people who own the we261 supposed to use thier mower if no parts are available to it?

      also they told me that the official part number for the highlift blade is 428580.

      Absolutley terrible consumer product information from weedeater, poulan!!!

      In closing, the current weedeater one does not ship with the HIGHLIFT blade
