What It Is

This is a high-lift bagging blade set (2-pack) designed for 42-inch John Deere mower decks. It replaces OEM part numbers AM141034, M154062, and AM137329, optimized for lifting grass clippings into a bagger rather than mulching or side-discharging.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify three things:

• Deck size: Confirms your mower has a 42-inch cutting deck. Measure deck width if unsure (rounded to nearest inch).
• Model list: Fits John Deere D110, X300, X304, LA120, LT160, SST15, Z225, and other 42-inch deck models from the same series. Cross-check your model number against the manufacturer’s compatibility list—some D-series or X300 variants with different decks may not match.
• Blade dimensions: OEM spec is 16.5 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, with a 1-inch center hole and 5-point star drive. Measure your old blade’s length and center hole shape to confirm fit. Aftermarket, so slight variations possible; compare to your original blade before mounting.

Key Things to Know

• High lift = bagging only: These blades create strong upward airflow for bagging but won’t mulch or discharge well. If you mainly side-discharge or mulch, look for a different blade type.
• Installation: Straightforward with a socket wrench and torque wrench (aim for 70-90 ft-lbs). Note the blade orientation—sharp edge faces the direction of rotation. Use the included washer and ensure blades are balanced after installation.
• Durability: Heavy-duty steel construction, but high-lift blades wear faster than standard blades due to increased air resistance. Check for bending or dulling after heavy use or hitting debris.
• Price vs OEM: At ~$30 for a pair, these are roughly half the cost of OEM blades. Reviews note they cut well and fit correctly, but some users report needing to rebalance after shipping.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you have a 42-inch John Deere with a bagger attachment and want a cost-effective replacement that performs nearly identically to OEM. Skip them if you mostly mulch or side-discharge, or if your deck size or model isn’t listed—verify fitment first.
