742P05094 Mower Blades Fit for Cub-Cadet MTD Troy Bilt 50" Deck, 742-05094-L Blades Set for Enduro XT1-LT50 Ultima ZT1-50 ZT2-50, Replace for 742P05094-L, 3 Pack

What It Is

This is a 3-pack of replacement mower blades designed for 50-inch cutting decks on select Cub Cadet, MTD, and Troy-Bilt riding mowers and zero-turn models. They are intended for medium-duty residential mowing and replace OEM part numbers 742P05094, 742-05094-L, and 742P05094-L.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, measure your existing blade length and center hole diameter. These blades are 20.5 inches long, 2.25 inches wide, with a 5-point star center hole (1 inch diameter) and a 0.25-inch offset. They fit Cub Cadet Enduro XT1-LT50, Ultima ZT1-50, ZT2-50, and MTD/Troy-Bilt models with a 50-inch deck that use OEM part 742P05094 or 742-05094-L. Verify your mower’s deck size (50 inches) and blade mounting pattern—do not assume all 50-inch decks use the same blade. Check your owner’s manual or existing blade for the OEM number before ordering.

Key Things to Know

• Quality concerns: With a 3.3-star rating from only 3 reviews, these blades may have inconsistent sharpness or balance out of the box. Inspect and balance them before installation.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need a socket wrench and a blade removal tool or block of wood to prevent spinning. Torque the center bolt to 70-90 ft-lbs.
• Common gotcha: The star center hole requires precise alignment with the spindle—if your mower uses a different hole shape (e.g., oval or round), these won’t fit.
• Lift and cut: These are standard medium-lift blades, not high-lift or mulching. Expect acceptable bagging and side-discharge, but not heavy-duty performance.

Should You Buy It

These blades are a budget-friendly option if you own a compatible Cub Cadet or MTD 50-inch deck mower and need a quick replacement set for regular residential mowing. However, given the low rating and few reviews, you may want to consider a higher-rated OEM or aftermarket brand for better durability and balance, especially if you mow thick or damp grass.
