What It Is

This is a 3-pack of high-lift mulching blades designed to improve grass clipping discharge and bagging performance on 50-inch cutting decks. They are compatible with select Cub Cadet, MTD, and Troy-Bilt lawn tractors.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before purchasing, confirm your mower has a 50-inch deck (measure if unsure). These blades replace OEM part numbers 742-04068, 759-04047, and 942-04068. They fit models including Cub Cadet LT1050, GT2050, GT2550, LT1024, and many MTD/Troy-Bilt equivalents. Measure your blade length (should be ~20.5 inches) and center hole diameter (typically 1-inch or 7/8-inch). Compare with your current blade’s part number to avoid returns.

Key Things to Know

• High-lift design increases airflow for better bagging and discharge but may create more noise and vibration than standard blades.
• Installation difficulty: moderate. You’ll need a socket wrench and a blade removal tool or block of wood to prevent spinning. Always disconnect the spark plug first.
• Aftermarket fit: these are not OEM Cub Cadet parts, so minor fitment variations (e.g., hole alignment) are possible—test one blade before mounting all three.
• Durability: most users report good longevity for residential use, but avoid hitting rocks or stumps to prevent bending.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible 50-inch deck Cub Cadet, MTD, or Troy-Bilt tractor and need affordable replacement blades for improved bagging or mulching, this 3-pack is a solid value. It’s best for residential lawn care with regular grass heights—not for heavy commercial use or rocky terrain.
