8TEN LawnRAZOR Blade for 2135 2130 441 314 331 363 328 38" Deck 759-3817 742-3009 (Notched High Lift) 2 Pack

What It Is

The 8TEN LawnRAZOR Notched High Lift Blade is a 2-pack aftermarket replacement designed for select 38-inch deck riding mowers. It uses a high-lift profile for superior grass lift and discharge, making it ideal for mulching or bagging in thick, tall grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check these before buying:

• Deck size: Fits 38-inch cutting decks only—measure your deck to confirm.
• Mower models: Compatible with John Deere 2135, 2130, 441, 314, 331, 363, 328, and others using a 38" deck (verify your model’s deck size).
• OEM cross-reference: Replaces 759-3817 and 742-3009. Confirm your OEM part number matches.
• Measurements: Blade length ~19.5 inches, center hole ~1 inch (notched for spindle clearance). Measure your old blade’s length, hole diameter, and notch pattern.
• Brand fit: Aftermarket—not OEM. Ensure spindle and blade adapter are compatible (common on John Deere 38" decks).

Key Things to Know

• Quality: High-lift design improves bagging/mulching but increases wear on spindles and engine (more resistance). Expect slightly shorter lifespan than OEM.
• Installation: Moderate—requires removing deck or accessing blade from underside. Use a torque wrench (20-30 ft-lbs) and anti-seize on bolts. Notched design must align with spindle key.
• Common gotchas: Not for standard discharge or low-cut settings—high lift can scalp on uneven terrain. Check for blade strikes or bent spindles before install.
• Pack: 2 blades included; ensure you need both (some decks use 2, others 1).

Should You Buy It

Buy if you need an affordable, high-lift replacement for a 38" John Deere deck and prioritize bagging or heavy-cut performance over blade longevity. Skip if you have a different deck size, prefer OEM durability, or mow mostly fine, dry grass.
