GELASKA 2 Pack 532138971 High Lift Lawn Mower Blades with 532193003 Bolts - Fits Craftsman Husqvarna Poulan 42 inch Mower Decks, Compatible with LT1000 YTH18542 Replaces 532134149 422719

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of high-lift lawn mower blades designed to increase airflow and improve grass clipping discharge, ideal for bagging or side-discharge mowing on 42-inch decks. They come with two replacement bolts (part 532193003) and fit Craftsman, Husqvarna, and Poulan models.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower deck is exactly 42 inches (measured blade tip to tip, not deck housing). These blades replace OEM part numbers 532138971, 532134149, and 422719. They are compatible with many Craftsman LT1000, YTH18542, and similar models, plus Husqvarna and Poulan riders with 42-inch decks. Do not assume fit—cross-check your mower’s model number and deck size. Measure your old blade length (should be 21 inches), center hole diameter (typically 1 inch), and spindle hole pattern. The included bolts (532193003) are 5/16-18 x 1-1/4 inch, but verify your spindle uses this thread size.

Key Things to Know

• High-lift design: Excellent for bagging and side discharge, but creates more drag—expect slightly reduced engine RPM and fuel efficiency compared to standard blades.
• Installation: Straightforward with a socket and torque wrench. Tighten bolts to 70-90 ft-lbs. Use thread lock if bolts are reused.
• Balance check: After installing, test blade balance—unbalanced blades cause vibration and wear spindles/bearings. These may require light filing to balance.
• Sharpness: They come sharp but dull faster in sandy or rocky soil. Sharpen after 25-30 hours of use.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a 42-inch Craftsman, Husqvarna, or Poulan rider and need a reliable, budget-friendly high-lift blade set for bagging or clean side discharge. It’s a solid value with included bolts, but skip if you need mulching blades (low-lift) or have a deck smaller/larger than 42 inches. Verify your model number first to avoid returns.
