Replacement AM137327 High Lift Blades, Compatible with 42" Cut John Dee re D105 D125 D130 LT150 LA135 Z225 Lawn Mowers, Replaces for AM141032 AM141034 AM141034 M154061 M154062, 2 PACK

What It Is

This is a set of two high-lift replacement blades for 42-inch cutting decks on select John Deere lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers. The high-lift design increases airflow under the deck for better grass clipping discharge and bagging performance, making it ideal for regular mowing in medium-to-tall grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your deck measures exactly 42 inches (blade length is about 20.5 inches). This set fits John Deere models: D105, D125, D130, LT150, LA135, Z225, plus many other 42" deck Deeres. It replaces OEM part numbers AM141032, AM141034, AM137327, M154061, and M154062. The center hole is 5/8-inch with a 1-inch diameter “star” pattern—measure your spindle’s center hole and bolt pattern to ensure it matches. This is an aftermarket part, not genuine John Deere, so verify your deck’s blade mounting holes are compatible (some newer Deere decks use a different offset).

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy—requires a socket wrench, torque wrench (recommended 40-50 ft-lbs), and a block of wood to lock the blade. Lift the mower or tip it safely.
• Quality notes: These are stamped steel, not hardened or coated like some OEM blades. They may dull faster in sandy or rocky soil. Check balance before installing—unbalanced blades cause vibration.
• Common gotcha: High-lift blades create more suction, which can strain the engine if your deck is clogged or you mow wet, thick grass. Keep the underside clean.
• Pack includes two blades—most 42" decks use two, but some use three; count your blades before ordering.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible 42-inch John Deere lawn tractor or zero-turn and need a budget-friendly replacement for bagging or side-discharge mowing, these blades are a solid value. They’re not for heavy commercial use or extremely rough terrain, but for residential lawns, they perform well and save money over OEM parts. Skip them if you need mulching blades or have a different deck size.
