Mower Blades 3PCS 742P05086 Compatible with 54" Craftsman T3200 TT440 Z5800, Cub Cadet XT1-GT54 XT1-ST54 ZT2-54 ZTS2-54, MTD ZT1-54, Troy-Bilt Mustang Super Bronco 54K XP Z54 Deck Lawn Mower Blades

What It Is

This is a set of three 54-inch deck replacement blades (OEM part 742P05086) designed for select Craftsman, Cub Cadet, MTD, and Troy-Bilt zero-turn and lawn tractors. They’re for mid-to-large residential mowing where a clean, even cut on grass up to medium height is the goal.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower has a 54-inch deck and uses three blades. This set is direct-fit for:

• Craftsman T3200, TT440, Z5800
• Cub Cadet XT1-GT54, XT1-ST54, ZT2-54, ZTS2-54
• MTD ZT1-54
• Troy-Bilt Mustang Super Bronco 54K XP Z54

Check these specifics:

• OEM number: Cross-reference 742P05086 on your current blade or manual.
• Blade measurements: Each blade is roughly 17.5 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, with a 7/8-inch center hole and a 1/4-inch offset. Measure your old blade’s length, hole size, and offset to confirm.
• Deck pattern: Ensure your deck uses three blades in a staggered pattern—these won’t fit two-blade or offset designs.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: High-carbon steel with a hardened edge; good for durability but may dull faster if you hit rocks or roots frequently. Rated 4.9/5 from 14 reviews, indicating consistent sharpness and balance.
• Installation: Straightforward if you have a socket set and a torque wrench (aim for 70-90 ft-lbs). Use a blade removal tool to lock the spindle. No adapters needed.
• Gotcha: These are OEM-spec, not universal. Don’t assume fitment on older Cub Cadet or Craftsman models with 54-inch decks—always verify the part number.
• Balance: Pre-balanced from factory, but check with a balancer after install to avoid vibration.

Should You Buy It

If you own one of the listed mowers and want a direct, no-guesswork replacement that matches OEM quality, these are a solid buy at $47.99. They’re best for homeowners who mow regularly and value a clean cut over extreme durability. Not for commercial use or rocky terrain—consider a thicker, mulching blade instead.
