Aeagle 30 Inch Mower Blade for Troy Bilt TB30 TR30 TB30R for Cub Cadet CC30 CC30H Craftsman R1000 RER1000 R1500 30'' Deck Mower Replace 942-04385 742-04385, 3 Pack Black

What It Is

This is a set of three 30-inch mower blades designed for Troy-Bilt TB30, TR30, and TB30R models, Cub Cadet CC30 and CC30H, and Craftsman R1000, RER1000, and R1500 riding mowers with 30-inch decks. It replaces OEM parts 942-04385 and 742-04385 for mulching or bagging use.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your deck size is exactly 30 inches—measure from blade tip to tip or check the deck sticker. These blades fit Troy-Bilt TB30, TR30, TB30R; Cub Cadet CC30, CC30H; Craftsman R1000, RER1000, R1500. Verify your mower’s model number (e.g., 13A-xxx) to ensure the spindle pattern matches. This is an aftermarket replacement for OEM 942-04385 and 742-04385. Check the center hole diameter (typically 1 inch) and blade thickness (0.25 inch) to match your spindle. Not for 42-inch or other deck sizes.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made from heat-treated steel; sharp out of the box but may need balancing if vibration occurs. Good for mulching and bagging, not for heavy-duty commercial use.
• Installation: Easy DIY with a socket wrench—use a blade removal tool to prevent spinning. Torque bolts to 30-40 ft-lbs. Always disconnect the spark plug first.
• Common Gotchas: Some users report slight thickness variation; check for clearance if your deck has tight blade-to-deck spacing. These are not universal—will not fit 20-inch or 42-inch decks.
• Pack: Three blades per pack; replace all at once for even cutting. No included bolts or washers—reuse or buy separately.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a 30-inch Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, or Craftsman riding mower and want a budget-friendly three-pack that beats OEM pricing. It’s ideal for homeowners with one or two mowers needing reliable, sharp blades for a season or two. Skip it if you need high-lift blades for grass collection in heavy wet conditions or have a different deck size.
