742-04415 High Lift Mower Blades, Compatible with Cub Cad et 60" Cut Deck DS60 M60 Tank60 PRO Z100 Mower, Replace for 942-04415 01005338 02005019 01005338P, 3 Pack

What It Is

The 742-04415 High Lift Blades (3-pack) are aftermarket replacement blades for 60" cutting decks on Cub Cadet and related commercial zero-turn mowers. Their high-lift design increases air flow for better grass discharge and bagging performance, ideal for dense or wet grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only fits 60" cut decks (DS60, M60, Tank60, PRO Z100 models).
• OEM cross-reference: Replaces 942-04415, 01005338, 02005019, 01005338P.
• Measurements: Blade length is 20.5 inches, center hole diameter 5/8", with a 7/8" offset. Verify your original blade’s length and hole size.
• Brand fit: Direct fit for Cub Cadet and compatible with some MTD/Roper-built 60" decks. Not guaranteed for other brands like John Deere or Husqvarna.
• Check: Confirm your deck model (stamped on deck or manual) and compare blade measurements (length, hole, offset) before purchase.

Key Things to Know

• Installation: Simple swap with basic tools (socket wrench, torque to 70-90 ft-lbs). Use new blade washers if old ones are worn.
• Quality: Hardened steel construction, pre-sharpened, and balanced. Few user reports of imbalance; inspect each blade before install.
• High-lift trade-off: Better bagging and discharge, but increases engine load and may require more frequent blade sharpening in sandy or rocky conditions.
• Gotcha: Ensure blade orientation—curved edge must face upward toward deck. Installing upside down causes poor cut and vibration.

Should You Buy It

If you own a 60" Cub Cadet zero-turn and need reliable high-lift blades for bagging or heavy grass, this 3-pack offers solid value at $38.99. It’s a direct fit for listed models, but double-check your deck model and blade dimensions to avoid returns. Not ideal for mulching or low-lift applications.
