Lawn Mower Blades High Lift Blades with 38 inch Decks Fits for 742-0610 942-0610 for Troy-Bilt Tuffy Huskee LT3800 White Outdoor LT-13 LT-1300 LT-14 LT-145 LT-1450 LT-15 LT1700, 2 PCS

What It Is

This is a set of two high-lift lawn mower blades designed for 38-inch cutting decks, intended to improve grass clipping discharge and bagging performance. They are a direct replacement for OEM part numbers 742-0610 and 942-0610, commonly used on Troy-Bilt, Huskee, and White Outdoor models like the Tuffy, LT3800, and LT series tractors.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Must be exactly 38 inches. Measure your deck width before buying—a 42-inch deck requires different blades.
• Model check: Fits Troy-Bilt Tuffy, Huskee LT3800, White Outdoor LT-13, LT-1300, LT-14, LT-145, LT-1450, LT-15, LT1700. Also compatible with many MTD-built mowers using the same spindle pattern.
• OEM vs aftermarket: These are aftermarket replacements for OEM 742-0610 / 942-0610. Confirm your original part number by checking the stamp on your old blade.
• Measurements: Center hole diameter is typically 7/8-inch; blade length is about 18 inches (check your old blade for exact length). Verify the offset and thickness match your spindle.

Key Things to Know

• High-lift design: The curved tips create more suction, improving bagging and side discharge, but they can bog the engine in tall, wet grass. Keep your mowing speed moderate.
• Installation: Straightforward—remove the old blade, note the orientation (sharp edge forward), and torque the center bolt to 50-60 ft-lbs. Use a blade balancer after installation to avoid vibration.
• Sharpness: These come sharp but dull faster than standard blades due to the aggressive lift. Expect to sharpen every 10-15 hours of use.
• Common gotcha: High-lift blades can cause more wear on the spindle bearings and deck belt if you consistently mow thick grass. Inspect those parts seasonally.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you need to maximize bagging performance on a 38-inch Troy-Bilt, Huskee, or White Outdoor tractor and you’re comfortable with more frequent sharpening. Avoid them if you primarily mulch or mow very tall grass, as the high lift will strain your engine and reduce cut quality. For $28.98, they’re a solid upgrade for bagging-focused users.
