2PK Oregon 198-153 Blades for 42" Craftsman T210 13AN77XS093 CMXGRAM1130043

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of Oregon 198-153 replacement blades designed for 42-inch cutting decks, specifically compatible with Craftsman T210 tractors and select CMXGRAM models. They are for mulching, bagging, or side-discharge mowing on residential lawns.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying:

• Deck size: Only fits 42-inch decks. Measure your deck’s cutting width to confirm.
• Model compatibility: Fits Craftsman T210 (model 13AN77XS093) and CMXGRAM1130043. Check your mower’s model number on the frame or under the seat.
• OEM vs aftermarket: Oregon is a premium aftermarket brand; these replace OEM Craftsman part numbers 198-153, 682-04120, or 682-04120X. They are not direct OEM but match dimensions and hole pattern.
• Measurements: Blade length 21 inches, center hole 1 inch, offset 0.75 inches, thickness 0.25 inches. Measure your old blade to verify.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Oregon blades are heat-treated, hardened steel with a balanced design for longer life and cleaner cuts. They come pre-sharpened but may need light honing out of the box.
• Installation difficulty: Easy—requires a socket set and torque wrench. Tighten blade bolts to 70-80 ft-lbs. Use a blade removal tool or wood block to prevent spinning.
• Common gotchas: Check blade orientation (air lift side up). Torque is critical—under-tightening causes wobble, over-tightening strips bolts. Replace bolts if worn.
• Durability: Good for 25-50 hours of mowing on typical lawns. Avoid hitting rocks or roots to prevent dulling or bending.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Craftsman T210 or compatible 42-inch deck mower and need a reliable, affordable blade set, this is a solid choice. It’s well-rated, easy to install, and offers OEM-like performance at a lower price. Skip it if you prefer OEM parts or have a different deck size.
