(3PCS) 742P05094 High Lift Lawn Mower Bagging Blades - Replace Cub Cadet/MTD/Troy Bilt 742-05094 - Fits Enduro XT1-LT50 Ultima ZT1-50 - For 50" Deck Lawn Mower

What It Is

This is a set of three high-lift bagging blades (742P05094) designed for 50-inch cutting decks on Cub Cadet, MTD, and Troy-Bilt lawn tractors. They are optimized for superior grass clipping lift and discharge into a bagger, making them ideal for mulching and bagging applications.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before purchasing, verify your mower has a 50-inch deck and uses blades with a 3-point star center hole and a 1-inch diameter arbor hole. These blades replace OEM part number 742-05094 (and cross-reference 742P05094). They fit models including Cub Cadet Enduro XT1-LT50, Ultima ZT1-50, and many MTD/Troy-Bilt tractors with a 50-inch fabricated or stamped deck. Check your owner’s manual or existing blade for exact length (typically 20.5 inches) and thickness (0.25 inches). Not compatible with 46-inch or 54-inch decks.

Key Things to Know

• Aftermarket quality: These are not OEM Cub Cadet blades but are made from heat-treated steel with a hardened edge. Some users report they are slightly thinner than OEM, which may reduce lifespan in rocky or heavy-use conditions.
• Installation: Easy bolt-on replacement with a socket wrench. Torque to 40–60 ft-lbs. Ensure the blade’s lift wings face upward (toward the deck) for proper bagging performance.
• Common gotcha: High-lift blades increase engine load and may reduce fuel efficiency or require more power on thick grass. They are not ideal for side-discharge or mulching-only setups.
• Set of three: Includes three blades for a standard 50-inch deck. Verify your deck uses three blades (some 50-inch decks use two).

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you own a Cub Cadet, MTD, or Troy-Bilt with a 50-inch deck and primarily bag or mulch grass clippings. They offer good value for the price, but if you need maximum durability for heavy-duty use or rocky terrain, consider paying more for OEM blades.
