2PK Oregon 98-093 Blades for 42" Craftsman T110 13AN77XS093 CMXGRAM1130036

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of Oregon 98-093 replacement blades designed for 42-inch cutting decks, specifically for Craftsman T110 (model 13AN77XS093) and CMXGRAM1130036 lawn tractors. They are high-lift blades intended for mulching and bagging on residential lawn tractors with 42-inch decks.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check deck size first – these fit only 42-inch decks. Measure your deck width (blade tip to tip) to confirm. They are a direct OEM replacement for Craftsman/MTD part numbers 942-04294, 942-04294A, and 742P04294. Do not assume they fit all Craftsman T110 models – only those with the exact model number 13AN77XS093 or CMXGRAM1130036. Verify your deck’s spindle type: these use a 1-inch center hole with a 5-point star drive (common on MTD/Craftsman). If your spindles use a different drive pattern (e.g., oval or keyed), these won’t work. Aftermarket blades like Oregon are typically fine, but check that the blade length (20 inches) and thickness (0.25 inch) match your originals.

Key Things to Know

• High-lift design improves grass clipping lift for better bagging and mulching, but increases engine load and may throw debris more than standard blades.
• Installation is straightforward – use a torque wrench to tighten spindle bolts to 70-80 ft-lbs. Do not overtighten or use impact guns, as this can strip the star drive.
• Sharpening – these are hardened steel and can be sharpened a few times, but replace them if bent, cracked, or if the star drive wears out.
• Balance – always check blade balance after sharpening or before first use. Unbalanced blades cause vibration and damage spindles.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you own a 42-inch Craftsman T110 or CMXGRAM1130036 and want a reliable, direct-fit replacement that matches OEM specs. Avoid if your deck uses a different blade drive pattern or if you need low-lift blades for thick, wet grass (these high-lift blades may clog). For the price, they’re a solid value compared to OEM.
