What It Is

This is a 3-pack of replacement lawn mower blades designed for many 46-inch cut riding mowers from MTD, Cub Cadet, and Troy-Bilt. They are intended for standard residential mowing and offer a cost-effective way to replace dull or damaged blades.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, measure your existing blade length (should be roughly 20.5 inches overall, with a 1-inch center hole and a 5-point star drive pattern). Confirm your deck is a 46-inch cut and that your mower is from MTD, Cub Cadet, or Troy-Bilt models using OEM part numbers 742-0612, 942-0612, 942-0612A, 112-0302, 98023, 942-04125, 942-04124, or 942-0611. This kit is aftermarket but matches OEM specs, so it fits most MTD-built decks with the star-shaped spindle mount. Check your spindle pattern—if it’s a different drive (e.g., oval or round), this won’t work.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: These are hardened steel blades with a painted finish. They are comparable to OEM in thickness and sharpness out of the box, but may require balancing before installation.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need a socket wrench and safety blocks. The star pattern is easy to align, but torque to spec (typically 70-80 ft-lbs) to avoid loosening.
• Common gotcha: The blades are for 46-inch decks only—using them on a smaller or larger deck will cause poor cut or damage. Also, check for bent spindles before installing new blades.
• Pack size: 3 blades cover a typical 3-blade 46-inch deck exactly, so no need to buy extras.

Should You Buy It

Buy this kit if you own a 46-inch MTD, Cub Cadet, or Troy-Bilt rider and want a reliable, affordable set of replacement blades that match OEM specs. It’s ideal for regular seasonal swaps and pairs well with a blade balancer. Avoid if your deck uses a different spindle drive or non-star pattern.
