AM137327 High Lift Blades Compatible with John Dee re 42" Deck Cut, AM141032 Mower Blade Fit for D105 D125 D130 LT150 LA135 Z225 EZtrak Lawn Tractor, Replaces AM141034, M154061, M154062, 2 PACK

What It Is

This is a 2-pack set of high-lift mower blades designed to replace OEM AM137327 and AM141032 blades for John Deere 42-inch cutting decks. They’re intended for improved grass lifting and discharge, especially in thick or wet grass, on select lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower’s deck is exactly 42 inches (not 48” or 54”). These blades are aftermarket replacements for OEM part numbers AM137327, AM141032, AM141034, M154061, and M154062. They fit John Deere models including D105, D125, D130, LT150, LA135, Z225, and EZtrak series with a 42” deck. Measure your blade length (should be ~21 inches center-to-center) and check the center hole diameter and oval drive hole pattern. Not compatible with 38” or 48” decks or older Deere models with different spindle designs.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy—removes with a socket wrench and blade removal tool. No special skills needed, but always disconnect the spark plug first.
• High-lift design: Creates stronger airflow for better bagging and side discharge, but may increase engine load and noise slightly compared to standard blades.
• Aftermarket quality: Priced lower than OEM (original John Deere blades run ~$15-20 each), but reviews note durability is comparable for residential use. Avoid if you mow over rocks or heavy debris often.
• Common gotcha: These blades are thicker than some OEM versions, so check they don’t rub against the deck shell. Test spin by hand after install.

Should You Buy It

You’re a good candidate if you own a compatible John Deere 42” deck tractor and need a budget-friendly blade upgrade for better lift and bagging performance. Skip this if you have a different deck size, want OEM-only parts, or mow in extremely sandy or rocky conditions where thicker blades may chip.
