What It Is

This is a set of 42-inch mulching blades designed for Murray, Scotts, and Stanley lawn tractors. They replace OEM parts like 7769203, 95100, and 95100E701, and are intended for cutting grass into fine clippings that can be left on the lawn as natural fertilizer.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these three things:

1. Deck size: Your mower must have a 42-inch cutting deck. Measure deck width if unsure.
2. Model numbers: The blades fit Murray/Scotts/Stanley models using OEM part numbers 095100E701, 095100E701MA, 495100, 4951003, 4951003MA, 495100MA, 5539, 5539MA, 7769203, 95100, 95100E701, and 456252MA. Check your owner’s manual or current blade’s part number.
3. Center hole and spindle: These blades have a standard 5-point star center hole (common on MTD-built decks). Measure blade length (42 inches end to end) and confirm the spindle pattern matches your mower.

Aftermarket replacements are fine here, but verify the blade thickness and offset match your OEM blades to avoid vibration.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Rated 4.8/5 from 25 reviews—users report good durability and sharpness out of the box. Black coating resists rust.
• Installation: Moderately easy. You’ll need a socket wrench and possibly a torque wrench (blade bolts typically 40–50 ft-lbs). Lift the deck safely and block the blades.
• Gotchas: Mulching blades work best when grass is dry and cut frequently. If you bag or side-discharge, these aren’t ideal. Also, check your deck’s blade engagement system—some older decks use different spindle adapters.
• Set includes: Usually 3 blades (check listing to confirm quantity; some 42-inch decks use 3 blades).

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you have a Murray, Scotts, or Stanley tractor with a 42-inch deck and want to mulch grass clippings instead of bagging. They’re a solid, well-rated aftermarket replacement for common OEM part numbers. Skip them if you need side-discharge or bagging blades, or if your deck uses a different spindle pattern.
