ILONPA 942-05052A High Lift Blades for Cub Cadet XT1 XT2 50 ZT1 ZT2 50 LT50 GT50 RZT50 MTD Troy Bilt 50 inch Deck Zero-Turn Enduro Series Lawn Mower 742-05052A 50" 2-in-1 Blade 6-Pack, Black

What It Is

This is a 6-pack of high-lift 50-inch 2-in-1 mower blades designed to replace OEM parts 942-05052A and 742-05052A. They are built for Cub Cadet XT1, XT2, ZT1, ZT2, LT50, GT50, RZT50, and compatible MTD/Troy-Bilt zero-turn and lawn tractors with a 50-inch Enduro Series deck. High-lift blades increase airflow for better grass lift and bagging performance.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your deck is exactly 50 inches (measured blade tip to tip). These fit Cub Cadet XT1/XT2 Enduro Series, ZT1/ZT2 50, LT50, GT50, RZT50, and MTD/Troy-Bilt 50-inch decks using OEM part numbers 942-05052A or 742-05052A. Not compatible with 42-inch or 46-inch decks. Verify your spindle hole pattern (usually a 5-point star or oval) and center hole diameter (typically 5/8” or 3/4”). Check blade length: should be 16.5 inches from center hole to tip (33 inches total). Avoid if your deck is a different brand or model without cross-referencing the OEM number.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made from heat-treated steel, but some users report uneven balance out of the box. You may need to balance them before installation to prevent vibration.
• Installation: Direct bolt-on with no modifications needed for listed decks. Use a torque wrench to tighten to 70-80 ft-lbs. Lift the deck or remove the blades safely with a blade removal tool.
• Gotcha: High-lift blades cut well in dry grass but can clog in wet or thick conditions. They also create more noise and require more engine power than standard blades.
• Pack size: You get 6 blades (enough for 2 full sets on a 3-blade deck), which is cost-effective if you rotate or replace often.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a Cub Cadet or MTD/Troy-Bilt 50-inch Enduro Series deck, want improved bagging and lift, and don’t mind balancing blades before install. It’s a solid value for a 6-pack at $36.99, but skip it if you prefer standard (low-lift) blades for mulching or have a different deck brand.
