ACEBRI Mower Blade 30 inch for Troy Bilt TR30 TB30R for Cub Cadet CC30 CC30H 942-04385,742-04385 Mini Riders 30 inch Mower Blades, for Craftsman R1000 RER1000 R1500, 2Pack

What It Is

This is a 30-inch replacement blade set (2-pack) designed for mini riders and tractors with a 30-inch cutting deck. It’s an aftermarket alternative to OEM part numbers 942-04385 and 742-04385, intended for mowing grass on residential lawns.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: 30-inch cutting deck only. Measure your blade length (from center hole to tip) – must be 30 inches overall.
• Models: Fits Troy-Bilt TR30/TB30R, Cub Cadet CC30/CC30H, Craftsman R1000/RER1000/R1500. Also compatible with other brands using the same OEM part numbers.
• OEM cross-reference: Replaces 942-04385 and 742-04385. Check your current blade’s part number or look up your mower model’s blade specs.
• Center hole: Typically 5/8-inch diameter. Measure yours to confirm.
• Installation note: Double-check blade offset and thickness (typically 0.25-inch thick). Aftermarket blades may have slight differences in balance or cutting pattern vs. OEM.

Key Things to Know

• Sharpness out of box: Blades come pre-sharpened, but some users report needing to balance them before first use. Use a blade balancer.
• Installation difficulty: Easy – one bolt per blade. Use a torque wrench (recommended 30-40 ft-lbs) and lock washer. Never hand-tighten.
• Durability: Heat-treated steel, but not as thick as premium brands. Fine for typical residential use, but may dull faster on sandy soil or tough weeds.
• Gotcha: The 30-inch length is for the full blade – not the cutting swath. If your deck is 30 inches but uses a different mounting pattern (e.g., oval vs. star hole), these won’t fit.

Should You Buy It

If you need a budget-friendly 2-pack for a 30-inch Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, or Craftsman mini rider and you’re comfortable checking fitment (center hole, offset, and balance), this is a solid value. Skip it if you need heavy-duty mulching or have a different deck size/mounting pattern.
