CUB CADET 490-110-M135 30" Deck Mulching Blade 3IN1 CC 30 H Hydro

What It Is

This is a 30-inch OEM mulching blade for Cub Cadet Hydrostatic models with a 30-inch deck, designed to cut, bag, and mulch grass clippings. It’s optimized for the CC 30 H Hydro tractor.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only fits 30-inch decks. Measure your deck’s cutting width (blade tip to tip) to confirm.
• Model fit: Direct replacement for Cub Cadet CC 30 H Hydro tractors. Check your mower’s model number (e.g., 13AFA1CTP) on the frame or under the seat.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a genuine Cub Cadet part (490-110-M135). Aftermarket blades may differ in thickness, hole pattern, or lift—stick with OEM for guaranteed fit.
• Measurements: Center hole diameter is typically 1 inch; blade length is 30 inches overall. Verify your spindle’s bolt pattern (usually 5-point star or 6-point) before ordering.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: OEM steel with a durable coating resists rust and stays sharp longer than cheap aftermarket options.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty—requires jacking up the mower and removing the deck. Use a torque wrench (40-50 ft-lbs) to avoid stripping the spindle bolt.
• Common gotcha: The “3-in-1” design means this blade works for mulching, bagging, and side discharge, but the mulching performance depends on keeping the blade sharp and the deck clean.
• Single blade: This is one blade, not a set. If your deck uses two or three blades (common on wider decks), this won’t work—confirm your deck’s blade count.

Should You Buy It

Buy it if you own a Cub Cadet CC 30 H Hydro and want a reliable, OEM-specific mulching blade that matches the original specs. It’s ideal for maintaining consistent cut quality and avoiding fitment headaches. If you have a different 30-inch deck or a non-Cub Cadet mower, skip it—measurement mismatch is likely.
