John Deere mower blades for 54 inch Edge High Capacity Deck

[bob3275]

I have found 2 blades for my 54 inch Edge High Capacity Deck on my X750. One is an M164016 and the other is TCU30316. Length and hole size is the same The TCU30316 blade is 1/4" thick and the M164016 is 13/64" thick. The width of the M164016 is 2 3/4" while the TCU30316 is 2 1/2". The "height" of the M164016 is 1 25/64" and the height of the TCU30316 is listed as 37/64", which is significantly lower. Interesting to me is that both blades are listed as "standard". Please tell me what the difference would really be between these blades for cut quality, etc. Thanks!

According to JD Parts:

Part Number: M164016
Description: Blade - BLADE, BLADE, SIDE DISCHARGE 54HC

Part Number: TCU30316
Description: Blade - BLADE
TCU30316 Blades Blade (54" Deck) (Standard)
TCU30316 Blades BLADE - HIGH LIFT
TCU30316 Mower Deck Parts BLADE - MEDIUMLIFT OPTION (3) (54”)

It appears they can't decide what TCU30316 is for.
