2PK Oregon 98-629 G3 Mulching Gator Blades for 42" Craftsman T210 13AN77XS093

What It Is

This is a two-pack of Oregon G3 Mulching Gator Blades (model 98-629) designed for 42-inch cutting decks. They’re built to replace the factory blades on a Craftsman T210 (model 13AN77XS093) and similar tractors, focusing on finer mulching and better bagging than standard straight blades.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check three things:

• Deck size: These fit 42-inch decks only. Measure your deck’s width (blade tip to tip) to confirm.
• Model/part number: The listed Craftsman T210 (13AN77XS093) is compatible, but also fits many 42-inch Craftsman, Husqvarna, and Poulan Pro tractors with a 5-point star center hole and 0.5-inch diameter.
• OEM vs aftermarket: Oregon is a top aftermarket brand—these are not OEM Craftsman blades, but they match OEM specs for length (21 inches), width (2.25 inches), and thickness (0.1875 inches).

Quick check: Measure your current blade’s length, center hole shape (star vs round), and ensure you have a 42-inch deck. If your tractor uses a different spindle or offset, these won’t work.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Oregon G3 blades are heat-treated steel with a coated edge—they stay sharp longer than most OEM blades.
• Installation: Easy swap if you have a socket set and a torque wrench (tighten to 40-50 ft-lbs). No special tools needed.
• Gotcha: These are mulching blades, not high-lift. They won’t throw clippings as far, so skip them if you side-discharge on large lawns.
• Common issue: Some users report needing to balance after install—always check blade balance to avoid vibration.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you want finer mulching and better grass clipping breakdown on a 42-inch Craftsman T210 or similar tractor, especially if you bag or mulch frequently. Skip them if you primarily side-discharge or need max lift for wet grass—then stick with high-lift blades.
