This is a 2-pack of heavy-duty high-lift blades for 42-inch cutting decks, designed to improve grass clipping discharge and bagging performance on select John Deere lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, confirm your deck is exactly 42 inches (measured blade tip to tip). These blades replace OEM part numbers AM141034, AM141032, M154062, AM137327, and M15406. Compatible models include John Deere D105, D110, LT160, LA135, and Z225, but also fit many others with a 42-inch deck and the same spindle pattern. Measure your existing blade length (should be ~21 inches overall) and center hole size (usually 1 inch) to verify. Not for 48-inch or 54-inch decks, or older Deere models with different spindle mounts.
Key Things to Know
- High-lift design: Creates more airflow for better bagging and side discharge, but may increase engine load and noise slightly compared to standard blades.
- Installation: Use a torque wrench to tighten blade bolts to 70–90 ft-lbs for John Deere spindles. Check blade direction (cutting edge faces upward when installed).
- Quality notes: At 3.8 stars from only 4 reviews, these are not widely tested. Some users report balance issues requiring minor filing.
- Deck clearance: High-lift blades can cause clipping buildup under the deck in wet grass; clean deck frequently.
Should You Buy It
If you own a 42-inch John Deere lawn tractor or Z225 and want better bagging or discharge performance for the price of two blades, this is a reasonable budget option. However, given the low review count and potential balance issues, consider OEM blades if you prioritize consistent quality and fitment over saving a few dollars.
