(2) 21" Walk Behind Mower Blades for Huskee Yardman Bolens Murray Replaces 942-0741A

What It Is

This is a set of two 21-inch replacement blades for walk-behind lawn mowers, designed for cutting grass on residential lawns. They fit a range of common brands including Huskee, Yardman, Bolens, and Murray, and replace OEM part number 942-0741A.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm these three things:

• Deck size: Your mower must have a 21-inch cutting deck. Measure the blade length from hole center to tip, or check your owner’s manual.
• Brand/model: These blades fit most Huskee, Yardman, Bolens, and Murray walk-behind mowers that use OEM part 942-0741A. They also cross-reference with MTD parts 942-0741A, 742-0741A, and 942-0741. Not compatible with zero-turn or riding mowers.
• Center hole & spindle: The center hole is approximately 1 inch (25.4 mm) with a 5-point star pattern. Ensure your spindle matches this design—some older or off-brand mowers may use a different hole shape.

Double-check: Measure your existing blade’s length, center hole size, and overall shape (straight or curved). If your blade has a different hole pattern or is longer/shorter than 21 inches, this set won’t fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: These are aftermarket blades, typically made from hardened steel with a rust-resistant coating. They’re comparable to OEM in durability for residential use, but may not hold an edge as long as premium brands.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty. You’ll need a socket wrench and a blade removal tool (or a block of wood to jam the blade). Always disconnect the spark plug and drain the gas before flipping the mower.
• Common gotcha: The center hole’s 5-point star pattern is specific—check that your spindle has matching points. If your mower uses a round hole with a keyway, these won’t fit.
• Balance: After installing, check blade balance with a simple balancer. An unbalanced blade causes vibration and uneven cuts.

Should You Buy It

This is a solid value for owners of Huskee, Yardman, Bolens, or Murray 21-inch walk-behind mowers who want a reliable, budget-friendly replacement. It’s ideal for routine seasonal swaps or replacing a dull or slightly damaged blade. Not the best choice for heavy commercial use or if your mower requires a different hole pattern. If your blade is bent, cracked, or severely worn, go ahead—otherwise, just sharpen your existing blade.
