CUB CADET 46 in. High Lift Lawn Mower Blade Set with Star Center, 490-110-C110 - Replaces 490-110-C131 - OE# 942-04290A, 942-04244A, Fits LT, RZT-L, RZT-S, Enduro and Ultima Series

What It Is

This is a set of three high-lift lawn mower blades designed for 46-inch cutting decks on Cub Cadet LT, RZT-L, RZT-S, Enduro, and Ultima series tractors. The high-lift profile increases airflow for better grass clipping discharge, making it ideal for bagging or side-discharge mowing in thick or wet grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only fits 46-inch decks. Measure your deck width to confirm.
• Blade shape: Star center (5-point) – not compatible with oval or round center holes.
• OEM cross-references: Replaces Cub Cadet OEM# 490-110-C131, 942-04290A, and 942-04244A. Check your current blade part number.
• Series fit: Confirmed on LT, RZT-L, RZT-S, Enduro, and Ultima series with a 46-inch deck. Verify your model number on the Cub Cadet website or manual.
• Quantity: Sold as a set of 3 – covers the entire deck.

Key Things to Know

• High-lift vs. standard: Better bagging and discharge but may cause more wear on the deck and engine in dry, dusty conditions. Not ideal for mulching without a conversion kit.
• Installation: Straightforward – use a torque wrench to 70-90 ft-lbs. The star center aligns easily, but ensure the blade orientation (cutting edge facing upward).
• Quality: OEM-grade steel with a durable coating. No sharpening needed out of box, but check balance before installing.
• Gotcha: High-lift blades can throw debris sideways. Always wear eye protection and keep bystanders clear.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Cub Cadet with a 46-inch deck and primarily bag or side-discharge in thick grass, this is a direct-fit upgrade that outperforms standard blades. Avoid if you mulch often or mow in dry, sandy conditions where high-lift blades increase dust and wear.
