Hipa 2-Pack 134149 Mulching Blades 5-Point Star Set for Craftsman Husqvarna 42 inch Deck Lawn Tractor Riding Mower,LT2000 LT1000 Mower Blades Repalce for 532134149 422719 42 Inch Blades

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of 5-point star mulching blades designed to replace OEM part 532134149 on Craftsman and Husqvarna riding mowers with a 42-inch cutting deck. They’re meant for mulching—chopping clippings fine to leave on the lawn—not bagging or side-discharge.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check these before buying:

• Deck size: Only fits 42-inch decks. Measure your deck’s cutting width (blade tip to tip) to confirm.
• Model fit: Works with Craftsman LT2000, LT1000, and many Husqvarna 42-inch deck riders. Also fits some Poulan, McCulloch, and AYP models using OEM part 532134149.
• OEM cross-reference: Replaces Craftsman 532134149, 422719, and Husqvarna 532134149. Verify your current blade part number.
• Measurements: Center hole diameter is typically 1 inch (check yours). Blade length is about 21 inches (from tip to center hole). Confirm these match your old blades.
• Aftermarket note: These are aftermarket, not OEM. They’re generally fine, but quality may vary slightly from factory blades.

Key Things to Know

• Installation: Straightforward—remove the old blade, install with the sharp edge facing the deck rotation (usually clockwise). Torque the center bolt to 70-80 ft-lbs (check your manual). No special tools needed beyond a wrench and blade removal tool.
• Mulching performance: The 5-point star design increases cutting surface for finer clippings. Works best with dry grass; wet or tall grass may clog or leave clumps.
• Common gotcha: These are mulching blades—they won’t bag or discharge well. If you switch between mulching and bagging, you’ll need different blades.
• Durability: Heat-treated steel, but not hardened like some OEM blades. Expect to sharpen or replace seasonally, especially on rocky or tough terrain.

Should You Buy It

If you have a 42-inch Craftsman or Husqvarna rider and want an affordable mulching upgrade for fine clippings, this is a solid pick. It’s not for bagging or heavy-duty use, but for regular lawn care at $25.88 for two, it’s a good value. Make sure your deck and blade measurements match before buying.
