Aeagle 942-05052A Mower Blades for Cub Cadet ZT1 ZT2 Ultima Zero Turn XT1 XT2 Enduro Series LT50 GT50 RZT50 RZT-L34 50'' Deck Lawn Tractor Replaces 742-05052A, High Lift, 6 Point Star, 3 Pack (Blue)

What It Is

The Aeagle 942-05052A is a set of three high-lift, 6-point star mower blades designed for 50-inch cutting decks on select Cub Cadet zero-turn and lawn tractor models. These blades are intended for residential mowing on medium-to-large lawns where efficient grass clipping discharge and bagging are priorities.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these three things:

1. Deck size: These blades fit only 50-inch decks. Do not use on 42-inch, 46-inch, or 54-inch decks.
2. Model series: Confirmed compatible with Cub Cadet ZT1, ZT2 Ultima, XT1, XT2 Enduro, LT50, GT50, RZT50, and RZT-L34 series. Check your mower’s model number (on the frame or under the seat) against the manufacturer’s parts list.
3. OEM vs aftermarket: These replace OEM part 742-05052A. Measurements are 20.5 inches long, 2.75 inches wide, with a 0.25-inch thickness and a 6-point star center hole. Measure your old blade to confirm.

Warning: These are high-lift blades. They create more suction than standard blades—great for bagging, but they increase engine load and wear faster in sandy or dusty conditions.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made from heat-treated steel with a black powder coat. User reviews average 4.4/5, with most complaints about blades arriving slightly out of balance or with burrs on the cutting edge. Check and balance before installing.
• Installation: Straightforward—remove the old blade, clean the spindle, install with the 6-point star aligned. Torque the center bolt to 40-50 ft-lbs. No special tools needed.
• Common gotchas: The high-lift design can cause clumping in wet grass. Also, the star pattern is specific to Cub Cadet spindles—will not fit standard 5-point or oval hole spindles.
• Life expectancy: Expect 15-25 hours of cutting before sharpening, depending on turf and debris.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Cub Cadet with a 50-inch deck and need a budget-friendly replacement for bagging or high-volume discharge, these blades deliver solid performance for residential use. Avoid them if you mow sandy soil, large commercial properties, or prefer standard-lift blades for mulching.
