GICOOL 532134149 422719 Mower Blades for Craftsman 42 inch Deck Mower, Fits Craftsman Riding Mower LT1000 LT2000 with 5-Point Star Hole, Replace 134149 424752

What It Is

This is a set of three 42-inch replacement blades for Craftsman riding mowers, designed for cutting grass on medium-to-large lawns. They use a 5-point star center hole to fit specific spindle patterns.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower deck is exactly 42 inches wide (measure from blade tip to blade tip). These blades fit Craftsman LT1000, LT2000, and similar models with a 5-point star hole pattern—not round or oval holes. OEM equivalents are 532134149 and 424752; cross-check your mower’s model number against those. Also confirm blade length (20.5 inches tip-to-tip) and thickness (0.25 inches). Check your spindle’s star pattern: if it has 5 points, these will bolt on without adapters.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: 4.9/5 stars from 29 reviews suggests high durability and sharpness out of the box. Expect medium-carbon steel with a powder coating to resist rust.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty. You’ll need a socket wrench to remove the center bolt (likely 5/8 or 3/4 inch) and a blade balancer after install. Torque the bolt to 70-90 ft-lbs.
• Common gotchas: Star hole must align exactly—forcing it can strip the spindle. Also, these blades are for standard cutting, not mulching or bagging, so check your deck’s discharge type.
• Price: $20.99 is competitive for a set of three; cheaper than OEM but still reliable for the price.

Should You Buy It

Buy this set if you own a Craftsman LT1000 or LT2000 with a 42-inch deck and a 5-point star spindle. It’s a budget-friendly, high-rated replacement for worn or dull blades, ideal for residential mowing. Skip it if your deck uses a different hole pattern or if you need mulching blades.
