742P05094 Lawn Mower Blade Compatible with Cub Cadet Enduro XT1-LT50 Ultima ZT1-50 ZT2-50 Mowers with 50" High Lift Cutting Deck Replaces 742-05094 3 Packs

What It Is

This is a set of three high-lift lawn mower blades (part 742P05094) designed for Cub Cadet Enduro XT1-LT50, Ultima ZT1-50, and ZT2-50 models with a 50-inch cutting deck. The high-lift design improves grass clipping suction for better bagging and discharge performance.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower has a 50-inch deck (not 42" or 46"). These blades are aftermarket replacements for OEM part 742-05094 and fit the listed Cub Cadet models. Measure your existing blade: overall length should be ~20.5 inches, center hole diameter ~1 inch, and thickness ~0.25 inches. Check that your blade spindles accept a five-point star center hole (common on these decks). Not compatible with zero-turn models outside the ZT1-50/ZT2-50 series or older Cub Cadet decks.

Key Things to Know

• High-lift blades create more airflow but increase engine load—expect slightly reduced runtime and more noise compared to standard blades.
• Installation is straightforward: remove the deck, use a socket wrench to loosen the center bolt (counterclockwise), and replace one blade at a time. Torque bolts to 70-90 ft-lbs.
• These blades are uncoated steel—they will rust faster than OEM coated blades. Apply a thin layer of oil after each mow if you store in a damp area.
• Check blade balance before installing—unbalanced blades cause vibration and damage spindle bearings. A simple nail-in-wall test works.

Should You Buy It

Buy this set if you own a compatible Cub Cadet 50" deck and prioritize superior bagging or discharge performance over blade longevity. At ~$12 per blade, it’s a solid value for high-lift action, but expect to replace them more often than OEM parts due to rust. Not ideal if you mulch frequently—stick with standard or mulching blades instead.
