Aeagle 942-04308 Mower Blades with 6 Point Star for Cub Cadet XT1 LT42 RZT 42 T110 LTX1040 LTX1042 42" Zero Turn Lawn Tractor for Troy Bilt Pony Bronco 942-04308A 742-0616, High Lift, 2 Pack, Blue

What It Is

The Aeagle 942-04308 is a high-lift lawn mower blade set (2-pack) designed for 42-inch cutting decks on select Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, and MTD-brand tractors and zero-turn mowers. The high-lift design improves grass clipping discharge and bagging performance, making it ideal for thick or tall grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your deck size is exactly 42 inches (not 46" or 50"). This blade fits Cub Cadet XT1 LT42, RZT 42, T110, LTX1040, and LTX1042, plus Troy-Bilt Pony and Bronco models. It replaces OEM part numbers 942-04308A and 742-0616. The blade has a 6-point star center hole and measures approximately 20.5 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, and 0.25 inches thick. Check your current blade’s star pattern—some older decks use a 5-point star or oval hole, which won’t fit. Always cross-reference your mower’s model number (found under the seat or on the deck) with the seller’s compatibility list.

Key Things to Know

• High-lift trade-off: Better discharge and bagging in tall grass, but they create more drag and may strain the engine on underpowered mowers. Avoid if you primarily mulch.
• Installation: Easy bolt-on replacement with a standard socket and torque wrench (30-40 ft-lbs). Use thread locker on bolts if not pre-applied.
• Build quality: Blue powder coating resists rust, but the edge is pre-sharpened—may dull faster than OEM blades in sandy or rocky conditions.
• Balance check: Always balance the blades after installation (use a $10 balancer). Unbalanced blades cause vibration and deck damage.

Should You Buy It

If you own a 42-inch Cub Cadet or Troy-Bilt with a 6-point star spindle and frequently bag or discharge grass, this is a solid budget-friendly upgrade over stock blades. Skip it for mulching-only use or if your deck is a different size.
