Hipa 3-Pack 942-05052A High Lift Mower Blades 6-Point Star Set for Cub Cadet ZT1 50 inch Deck Lawn Mower ZT1 ZT2 Ultima XT1 XT2 Enduro Series GT50 LT50 RZT-L34 50" Mower Models

What It Is

This is a 3-pack of high-lift mower blades designed to replace OEM part 942-05052A on Cub Cadet ZT1, ZT2, Ultima, XT1, XT2, Enduro Series, GT50, LT50, and RZT-L34 50-inch deck mowers. High-lift blades create stronger upward airflow for better grass clipping discharge and bagging performance, especially in thick or tall grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only fits 50-inch cutting decks. Measure your deck width before ordering.
• Blade mount: 6-point star center hole. Ensure your spindle matches this pattern—common on Cub Cadet’s 50" fabricated decks.
• OEM replacement: Directly replaces OEM part 942-05052A. Not compatible with 42" or 46" deck models.
• Blade dimensions: 19.5" length, 2.5" width, 0.25" thickness. Confirm these match your current blades.
• Model check: Verify your mower’s model number (e.g., ZT1 50, XT1 50) and deck serial number on the underside label.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need a socket wrench and torque wrench (recommended 70–90 ft-lbs). Use a blade removal tool or block the blade to prevent spinning.
• High-lift trade-off: Better bagging and discharge, but increased engine load and slightly lower fuel efficiency. Not ideal for mulching unless you swap to dedicated mulching blades.
• Quality: Heat-treated steel, balanced, and coated for rust resistance. Typically last 25–50 hours depending on terrain and debris.
• Common gotcha: Always replace all three blades at once for even wear and balance. Never mix high-lift with standard blades on the same deck.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a 50-inch Cub Cadet with a 6-point star spindle and want improved bagging or side-discharge performance in tall or wet grass. It’s a solid OEM-grade replacement at a low price, but skip it if you primarily mulch or have a smaller deck.
