HQPASFY Toothed Mulching Mower Blades 3PCS 742P05086-X Compatible with 54" Craftsman Z5800, T3200, Z7600, Cub Cadet XT1-GT54 XT1-ST54, Troy Bilt Mustang 54 XP, Z54, Super Bronco 54 XP

What It Is

This set of three toothed mulching blades replaces OEM part 742P05086-X, designed for 54-inch zero-turn and lawn tractors from Craftsman, Cub Cadet, and Troy Bilt. They’re meant for fine mulching—chopping clippings into small pieces that decompose fast—not for bagging or side-discharge use.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check three things before buying:

• Deck size: Only fits 54-inch cutting decks. Measure deck width edge-to-edge if unsure.
• Model list: Confirmed for Craftsman Z5800, T3200, Z7600; Cub Cadet XT1-GT54, XT1-ST54; Troy Bilt Mustang 54 XP, Z54, Super Bronco 54 XP. Not guaranteed for other brands or deck sizes.
• OEM cross-reference: Replaces OEM 742P05086-X. Measure existing blade length (should be ~18.5 inches), center hole diameter (1 inch), and thickness (0.25 inch). If your stock blade matches these, they’ll fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: 4.0-star average from 10 reviews—decent but limited feedback. Some users report balanced blades out of the box; others note minor weight differences requiring manual balancing.
• Installation: Low difficulty. Use a torque wrench to tighten blade bolts to 70–90 ft-lbs (check your mower manual). Always lift deck, disconnect spark plug, and block blades before work.
• Mulching performance: Toothed edge design chews clippings fine but clogs in wet, tall grass. Mow dry, keep grass short, and slow ground speed for best results.
• Gotcha: These are aftermarket blades. They may not match OEM finish or steel hardness. If you hit a rock or stump, they can bend or crack faster than factory blades.

Should You Buy It

If you own one of the listed 54-inch mowers and want affordable replacement mulching blades for regular yard maintenance, this set is a reasonable choice. Skip it if you need OEM durability for rough terrain, prefer bagging, or want more than 10 reviews to confirm long-term quality.
