What It Is

The UDC Parts 942-0610A is a set of two 38-inch mulching blades designed for riding mowers and tractors with a stamped 38-inch deck. They replace OEM part numbers 742-0610, 742-0610A, 7420610, and 942-0610, and are intended for use on Cub Cadet, Huskee, Murray, Bolens, Yard Machines, MTD, and Troy-Bilt models.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your deck measures exactly 38 inches (from blade tip to blade tip, not the deck housing). These blades fit most MTD-built 38-inch decks from the 1990s onward, including:

• Cub Cadet LT3800, LT1042, LT1045, LT1050
• Huskee LT3800, SLT3800
• Murray M115-38, 38-inch wide-body tractors
• Troy-Bilt 38-inch models (e.g., Pony, Bronco, TB30)
• Bolens, Yard Machines, Yard-Man 38-inch decks

Check your existing blade’s part number—if it ends in 742-0610, 742-0610A, or 942-0610, these fit. Measure your current blade’s center hole diameter (should be 1-inch) and overall length (about 20-1/2 inches). These are aftermarket blades, not OEM, but match the original specs.

Key Things to Know

• Installation is straightforward: Remove the deck, flip it, use a socket wrench to swap blades. Torque the center bolt to 40-50 ft-lbs. No special tools needed.
• Mulching performance is solid: The curved design lifts grass for finer clippings, but works best with dry, short grass—wet or tall grass may clog.
• Durability is good for the price: These are heat-treated steel with a painted coating to resist rust. They won’t outlast OEM but perform similarly for half the cost.
• Common gotcha: The center hole is 1-inch, but some older MTD decks use a 5/8-inch hole—measure before ordering. Also, these are not for side-discharge or bagging; they’re strictly mulching blades.

Should You Buy It

If you own a 38-inch MTD-style riding mower and want to save money over OEM blades without sacrificing cut quality, this two-pack is a solid value. It’s right for DIY homeowners who mow regularly and prefer mulching over bagging. Avoid if you need a different deck size or prefer OEM for warranty reasons.
