This is a set of two 42-inch mulching blades designed for Craftsman LT1000, LT2000, YS4500, Husqvarna, and Poulan Pro lawn tractors with a 42-inch cutting deck. They replace OEM part numbers 532134149, 422719, and 424752, turning grass clippings into fine mulch for lawn nutrition.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, confirm your mower has a 42-inch deck (measure from blade tip to blade tip). These blades fit most Craftsman, Husqvarna, and Poulan Pro 42-inch tractors from the 2000s onward, but check your deck’s spindle pattern—they use a center hole with a 5-point star or keyed shape. Measure your old blade length (should be ~20.5 inches) and verify the center hole diameter (typically 7/8-inch). These are aftermarket replacements, not OEM Craftsman, but match the original specs. Avoid if your deck is 46-inch or larger, or if you have a zero-turn mower with a different spindle mount.
Key Things to Know
- Quality: Made from heat-treated steel, but may be slightly thinner than OEM blades. Expect 1-2 seasons of normal use before dulling.
- Installation: Easy—remove the center bolt, swap blades, and torque to 40-50 ft-lbs. Use a blade removal tool (or block the blade) to prevent spinning. Always disconnect the spark plug first.
- Mulching vs. Discharge: These are mulching blades with a curved shape and extra cutting edge. They won’t work well for side-discharge or bagging—stick to mulching only.
- Balance: Out of the box, some users report needing to balance blades with a simple balancer tool to avoid vibration. Check before installing.
Should You Buy It
If you have a Craftsman, Husqvarna, or Poulan Pro 42-inch tractor and want a budget-friendly mulching upgrade, this set is a solid choice. It’s not for heavy commercial use or decks outside 42 inches, but for regular residential mowing, the price and reviews (4.6 stars) make it a reliable value over OEM.
