ILONPA 38" Low-Lift Mower Blades for John Deere AM100946 M82408 Lesco 050536 GT235 GT242 LT133 LX188 S92 SRX95 STX38 SX95 38 inch Deck Lawn Mower Replace AM100946 M82408 050536, Black

What It Is

A set of three 38-inch low-lift mower blades designed for mulching and bagging on residential John Deere, Lesco, and compatible lawn tractors with a 38-inch deck. The low-lift profile reduces suction and horsepower draw, making them ideal for dry, short grass and lighter-duty cutting.

Fitment & Compatibility

Deck size: Only for 38-inch (38") cutting decks. Measure your deck width—if it’s 42" or 48", these won’t fit.
OEM cross-references: Replaces John Deere AM100946, M82408, and Lesco 050536.
Tractor models include: John Deere GT235, GT242, LT133, LX188, S92, SRX95, STX38, SX95, plus Lesco 38" deck models.
Centering hole: 5/8" round (standard for these decks). Check your spindle’s center hole diameter before buying.
Blade length: 38" total set (each blade ~12.5"–13"). Confirm your existing blades are the same length and hole pattern.

Key Things to Know

• Low-lift design means less vacuum; works best for bagging or dry grass. Not ideal for tall, wet grass or heavy mulching.
• Installation is straightforward if you have a socket wrench and blade removal tool. Torque to 40–50 ft-lbs. Use thread locker if your spindles are prone to loosening.
• Black coating is paint, not a permanent treatment—it will wear off after a few cuts. That’s normal.
• Balance check: These are sold as a balanced set, but always test each blade on a balancer before installing to avoid vibration.

Should You Buy It

If you own a 38" John Deere or Lesco tractor and need affordable replacements for bagging or dry-season cutting, this set delivers solid value. Skip it if you need high-lift blades for wet grass or deep mulching.
