942-0610A Mulching Mower Blade Set for Cub Cadet MTD Troy Bilt 38" Decks 742-0610 742-0610A 942-0610 LT3800 White Outdoor L13 LT13 LT15 LT1300 C76G C79GF V76GF LT538G CLT38G 2 Pack

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of mulching blades designed for 38-inch cutting decks on Cub Cadet, MTD, Troy-Bilt, and White Outdoor lawn tractors. It replaces OEM part numbers 742-0610, 742-0610A, and 942-0610, optimized for fine grass clipping mulching rather than side discharge or bagging.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower has a 38-inch deck—this blade set will not fit 42-inch or larger decks. Check your current blade’s part number; it should be 742-0610, 742-0610A, or 942-0610. Compatible models include Cub Cadet LT3800, White Outdoor LT13, LT15, LT1300, and MTD/Troy-Bilt C76G, C79GF, V76GF, LT538G, and CLT38G. Measure your blade length—these are approximately 18.5 inches long with a 1-inch center hole and 7-point star drive. If your deck uses a different blade pattern or has a 5-point star, these won’t fit.

Key Things to Buy

• Quality: Made from hardened steel, but check for consistent sharpness out of the box—some users report minor burrs you can file off.
• Installation: Straightforward if you have a socket wrench and blade removal tool. Torque to 40-50 ft-lbs. The star drive fits most MTD spindles, but inspect your spindle for wear first.
• Common Gotcha: These are mulching blades only—they lack a high-lift design for bagging. If you switch between bagging and mulching, you’ll need a separate set for bagging.
• Balance: Always balance the blade after installation. Even factory blades can be slightly off, causing vibration.

Should You Buy It

If you own a 38-inch deck Cub Cadet, MTD, Troy-Bilt, or White Outdoor and primarily mulch, this is a solid, affordable OEM replacement. It’s not for bagging or decks over 38 inches. At $23.74 for two blades, it’s a good value for maintaining a clean cut on residential lawns.
