Caltric 140-1240 137-9826 60" Deck High-Lift Blades Compatible with Toro Zero-Turn Mower Z Master 3000 4000 5000 6000 Series

What It Is

The Caltric 140-1240 137-9826 is a set of three high-lift lawn mower blades designed for Toro Z Master zero-turn mowers with 60-inch decks. High-lift blades create stronger airflow to lift grass for a cleaner cut and better bagging, making them ideal for mulching or collecting clippings in tall or damp grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm these three things:

• Deck size: This set fits only 60-inch decks (not 54", 72", etc.).
• Model series: Compatible with Toro Z Master 3000, 4000, 5000, and 6000 series. Check your mower’s model number (e.g., Z326, Z427, Z530) for exact fit.
• OEM cross-reference: Replaces Toro OEM part numbers 140-1240 and 137-9826. Aftermarket blades may differ slightly in thickness or balance from genuine Toro blades.
• Measurements: Each blade is 20.5 inches long, 2.25 inches wide, with a 1-inch center hole and a 0.5-inch offset. Verify these match your current blades.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Requires jacking up the deck or removing the mower deck for access. Use a torque wrench to tighten blade bolts to 70–90 ft-lbs (check your manual).
• Balance check: Aftermarket blades sometimes need balancing before installation. Use a blade balancer to avoid vibration that can damage spindles.
• High-lift trade-off: Better cut quality and bagging, but more power draw and faster blade wear in sandy or rocky conditions. Not ideal for hard, dry ground.
• Limited reviews: Only 2 reviews at 4.5 stars, so reliability data is thin. Consider buying from a seller with a return policy.

Should You Buy It

If you own a 60-inch Toro Z Master and need affordable high-lift blades for regular mowing with bagging or mulching, this set is a solid budget alternative to OEM. But if you mow in heavy debris or need guaranteed durability, stick with genuine Toro blades. For most homeowners and light commercial use, these will work fine—just balance them before installing.
