Aeagle High Lift Blade for 742-0610 Cub Cadet MTD Troy Bilt 38 inch Deck Columbia Huskee Murray C76G LT-1300 Replaces 742-0610A 942-0610 942-0610A 2 Pack

What It Is

This is a high-lift blade set (2-pack) designed for 38-inch cutting decks on select Cub Cadet, MTD, Troy-Bilt, Columbia, Huskee, and Murray lawn tractors. The high-lift design increases airflow under the deck for better grass discharge and bagging performance, especially in thick or damp grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your deck is exactly 38 inches wide (measured blade tip to blade tip). This blade replaces OEM part numbers 742-0610, 742-0610A, 942-0610, and 942-0610A. It fits models like the Cub Cadet LT-1300, MTD 76G, and many others with a 38-inch stamped deck. Measure your existing blade length (approx. 18.25 inches), center hole diameter (usually 1 inch), and spindle pattern (typically 5-point star or 5/8-inch round). Verify your deck’s spindle shaft matches—some older models use a different arbor. If your mower uses a different OEM number, check for cross-reference compatibility.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: These are aftermarket blades, not OEM. Most users report they cut well and last a season with normal use, but steel thickness may be slightly less than factory originals.
• Installation: Easy swap with basic hand tools. Use a torque wrench to tighten blade bolts to 70-80 ft-lbs. Always sharpen new blades before first use for best results.
• Gotcha: High-lift blades create more lift, which can cause more dust and debris blowout in dry conditions. They also put slightly more strain on the engine and belt—not ideal for very underpowered mowers.
• Center hole: Ensure your deck’s spindle uses a 5/8-inch round or 5-point star center hole. If your spindle is a different shape (e.g., oval), these won’t fit.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you have a 38-inch MTD-family tractor and want better bagging or side-discharge performance in thick grass without paying OEM prices. Skip them if you need OEM-grade durability for commercial use, or if your deck requires a different center hole pattern. For the price, they’re a solid value for residential mowing.
