What It Is

This is a 2-pack of 38-inch high-lift lawn mower blades designed for John Deere garden tractors and zero-turn mowers. High-lift blades create stronger airflow to improve grass clipping discharge and bagging performance, ideal for tall or wet grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Fits 38-inch cutting decks only. Measure your deck width before ordering.
• Compatible models: John Deere 116, 160, 240, 245, GT242, LT150, STX38, F510, and 160-series. Not universal—check your model number.
• OEM replacements: Replaces John Deere part numbers AM100945, AM137324, AM100991, AM137326, AM141039, AM141041, M153118, M83459, M84472.
• Measurements: Each blade is 38 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, with a 0.25-inch thickness and a 1-inch center hole with a 5-point star drive. Verify your spindle’s center hole shape and diameter.
• Aftermarket note: This is a non-OEM blade, so fitment may vary slightly on older or non-standard decks. Check blade-to-deck clearance after installation.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy—jack up the mower, remove the old blade with a socket wrench, and torque to 40-50 ft-lbs. Use thread locker if your spindles are prone to loosening.
• Lift performance: High-lift design improves bagging and discharge but increases engine load. You may notice slightly lower RPMs in thick grass.
• Quality check: Read recent reviews—some users report balance issues out of the box. Use a blade balancer after installation. If it wobbles, it can damage your spindle or deck.
• Durability: These are made from hardened steel but are not as thick as OEM blades. They may dull faster on rocky or sandy soil.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible John Deere with a 38-inch deck and need a budget-friendly replacement for bagging or heavy discharge, these are a solid choice. Skip them if you have a different deck size or want OEM-grade longevity—go with genuine John Deere blades for heavier-duty use.
