Wadoy 490-110-C187 Mower Blade Compatible with Cub Cadett 60" Deck High Lift Mower Blades 3 Pack for Model ZT2 ZT3 05620 742-05620 742P05620

What It Is

This is a 3-pack of aftermarket high-lift mower blades designed for 60" Cub Cadet ZT2 and ZT3 zero-turn mowers. High-lift blades create stronger upward airflow for better grass clipping discharge and bagging, making them ideal for mulching or collecting leaves.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower has a 60-inch deck (not 54" or 72") and is a ZT2 or ZT3 model (e.g., 05620, 742-05620, 742P05620). These blades replace OEM Cub Cadet part numbers 490-110-C187, 942-05620, and 942P05620. Measure your existing blade length (should be ~20.5") and center hole diameter (~1" or 7/8")—most Cub Cadet 60" decks use a 7/8" spindle hole. If your deck uses a different hole size or offset, these won’t fit. Check that the blade’s thickness (typically 0.25") matches your spindle’s clearance.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs OEM: Wadoy blades are hardened steel but may not hold an edge as long as genuine Cub Cadet blades. Expect to sharpen or replace sooner under heavy use.
• Installation: Straightforward—use a torque wrench to tighten spindle nuts to 70-90 ft-lbs (check your manual). No special tools beyond a socket set and a blade removal tool.
• Common gotcha: High-lift blades can increase engine load and noise slightly, especially in thick grass. Avoid using them on wet, heavy turf where they may clog or bog down.
• Deck alignment: After installing, check blade tip clearance (should be 1/4" to 3/8" above the deck bottom). Uneven install can cause vibration or poor cut.

Should You Buy It

If you need a budget-friendly set of high-lift blades for a Cub Cadet 60" ZT2/ZT3 and value cost over long-lasting edge retention, this 3-pack is a solid choice. It’s not for commercial operators or those who want OEM durability—but for homeowners mowing a few acres, it works fine.
