Aeagle 942-04053C 50" Blades for Cub Cadet 50 Inch RZT50 1050 LT1050 LTX1050 i1050 Troy-Bilt Mustang 50 inch Zero Turn Mower 742-04053A 742-04056, High Lift, 6 Point Star, 3 Pack Black

What It Is

The Aeagle 942-04053C is a set of three high-lift replacement blades designed for 50-inch zero-turn mowers, specifically Cub Cadet and Troy-Bilt models. These blades are built for better grass clipping discharge and mulching performance in medium to heavy residential mowing.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check your mower’s deck size (must be exactly 50 inches) and spindle star pattern (6-point star). This set replaces OEM part numbers 942-04053A, 742-04053A, and 742-04056. Compatible models include Cub Cadet RZT50, 1050, LT1050, LTX1050, i1050, and Troy-Bilt Mustang 50-inch zero-turn mowers. Measure your existing blade length (this set is 50 inches total for three blades) and center hole diameter to confirm fit. Not for 42-inch or 54-inch decks.

Key Things to Know

• High lift design improves airflow and bagging but may cause more engine strain in tall, damp grass.
• Installation difficulty is moderate—requires a socket wrench and blade removal tool; torque to 35-40 ft-lbs (check your manual).
• Common gotcha: The 6-point star pattern is specific to these models—verify your spindle uses a star, not a round or square hole.
• Aftermarket vs OEM: Slightly thinner steel than OEM Cub Cadet blades; may need more frequent sharpening.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible 50-inch Cub Cadet or Troy-Bilt zero-turn and want an affordable high-lift option for better discharge, this set works well for residential use. Not ideal for commercial operators needing extreme durability or OEM-only parts.
