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, 2 Pack Black

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of 30-inch universal replacement blades for 30-inch deck walk-behind mowers from Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, and Craftsman. Designed for mulching, bagging, and side-discharge cutting, it replaces OEM part numbers 942-04385 and 742-04385.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, measure your current blade length—must be exactly 30 inches. Check the center hole (usually 7/8” or 1” – this blade uses a 7/8” hole) and confirm the blade pattern (this is a standard “double wing” design). Compatible with Troy-Bilt TB30, TR30, TB30R; Cub Cadet CC30, CC30H; Craftsman R1000, RER1000, R1500. Not for zero-turn or riding mowers. If your OEM blade number matches 942-04385 or 742-04385, it’s a direct fit. Verify your deck model number (e.g., 30A or 30B) if unsure.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Heat-treated steel with a black coating for rust resistance. Thickness is about 0.25” – similar to OEM but slightly lighter. Expect good durability for residential use.
• Installation: Easy – remove the center bolt, replace blade, torque to 35-45 ft-lbs. Always lift the mower, disconnect the spark plug, and block the blade. Use a blade removal tool if the bolt is stuck.
• Common Gotcha: The blade may not fit decks with offset spindles or non-standard center holes (e.g., 1” hole on some Craftsman models). Check your spindle flange – if it’s a 7/8” hex or round, you’re good.
• Balance: Each blade is pre-balanced, but always check with a blade balancer after installation. A slight wobble can cause vibration and poor cut.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a 30-inch Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, or Craftsman walk-behind mower and need a reliable, affordable replacement for OEM blades. It’s a solid value for residential use, especially if you mow weekly and want a sharp, balanced cut without paying OEM prices. Skip it if you need a 1” center hole or a heavier-duty blade for commercial use.
