What It Is

The ACEBRI High Lift Blades 33" are aftermarket replacement blades designed for select Cub Cadet, MTD, and Troy-Bilt walk-behind mowers with a 33-inch cutting deck. High lift blades create stronger upward airflow for improved grass clipping discharge and bagging performance, making them ideal for tall or thick grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower’s OEM blade part numbers match: 742-04154, 742-04154A, 942-04154, or 942-04154A. These blades fit Cub Cadet models CC760, CC760ES, CC800 and 12A-764M799, plus compatible MTD/Troy-Bilt units with a 33-inch deck. Measure your existing blade’s length (33 inches), center hole diameter (typically 1 inch), and spindle pattern—these are three-hole blades with a 5.5-inch hole spacing. This is an aftermarket set, not OEM, so check that the blade thickness (approx. 0.25 inches) matches your spindle. Always verify your mower’s deck size (33") and model number against the seller’s list.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy—requires a socket wrench and blade removal tool (or block of wood to prevent spinning). Torque bolts to 40-50 ft-lbs.
• Performance: High lift design significantly improves bagging and side discharge but may increase engine load slightly. Not ideal for mulching unless paired with a plug.
• Durability: Some users report these blades hold an edge well, but they are not heat-treated like OEM blades—expect slightly faster dulling in sandy or rocky soil.
• Balance: Check blade balance after installation (use a blade balancer) to avoid vibration that can damage spindle bearings.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible Cub Cadet, MTD, or Troy-Bilt 33-inch walk-behind mower and prioritize bagging or discharge performance over mulching, these blades offer solid value at $21.24 for a two-pack. They’re a budget-friendly alternative to OEM parts, but verify fitment carefully and expect slightly shorter lifespan than factory blades.
