Hipa 942-0741A Mulching Blade Set for Troy Bilt 21 inch Lawn Mower,TB110 TB240 TB230 TB130 Lawn Tractor,Craftsman Yard Machine MTD Murray 21 inch Deck Riding Mower (After 1995) Blade Pack of 1

What It Is

This is a mulching blade set (one blade) designed to replace the stock blade on 21-inch Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, Yard Machine, MTD, and Murray walk-behind mowers and riding mowers with 21-inch decks made after 1995. It cuts grass into fine clippings that decompose quickly, eliminating the need for bagging.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower has a 21-inch deck and uses a single blade (not a dual-blade system). This blade fits Troy-Bilt TB110, TB240, TB230, TB130, and similar models, plus Craftsman, MTD, and Murray riding mowers with 21-inch decks built after 1995. Measure your existing blade: it must be 21 inches long with a center hole diameter of 7/8-inch and a 5-point star drive (or a 5-point pattern). Check the OEM part number – this replaces Troy-Bilt 942-0741A, 742-0741, 742-0741A, and Craftsman 384-0741. If your mower uses a different blade pattern (e.g., oval hole or 1-inch center hole), it won’t fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made from heat-treated steel with a coated finish for rust resistance. Users report it stays sharp for 10-15 mowings on average grass.
• Installation: Simple – remove the center bolt, swap blades, and torque to 30-40 ft-lbs. No special tools needed beyond a socket wrench.
• Common gotcha: This is a single blade, not a pair. If your mower uses two blades (e.g., some 21-inch riders), you need two packs.
• Performance: Works best when grass is dry and not too tall. For thick or wet grass, it may clog or leave clumps.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible 21-inch Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, or MTD mower (walk-behind or rider) and want a budget-friendly mulching blade that’s easy to install and holds up well, this is a solid choice. Skip it if you need a bagging or high-lift blade, or if your mower uses a different hole pattern.
