Husqvarna 586962502 Blade 42 FCS Genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Part

What It Is

This is a genuine OEM replacement blade for Husqvarna 42-inch cutting decks, designed for medium-duty residential mowing. It fits select Husqvarna and compatible tractor models, providing a factory-spec cutting edge and balanced performance.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower deck measures exactly 42 inches (not 44 or 46). This blade fits Husqvarna models like YTH22V42, TS142, and GTH22V42, plus some Craftsman and Poulan Pro units with a 42-inch deck. Check your owner’s manual or existing blade for these specs: blade length 21 inches, center hole diameter 1 inch, and a 3-point star drive pattern. Do not assume fitment based on brand alone—measure your current blade’s length and hole pattern. Aftermarket blades may vary in thickness or balance; this OEM part matches original tolerances.

Key Things to Know

• Build quality: OEM blade is heat-treated steel with a sharpened edge; lasts longer than cheap stamped steel alternatives.
• Installation difficulty: Easy for DIYers—requires a socket wrench and torque to 70-80 ft-lbs. Use thread locker on bolts.
• Common gotcha: The star drive pattern is specific—round-hole blades won’t work. Verify your deck uses a 3-point star adapter before buying.
• Performance: Designed for mulching and side-discharge; not ideal for bagging heavy wet grass (clogs more easily than a high-lift blade).

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you want a guaranteed fit and factory-level cut for your Husqvarna 42-inch tractor, especially if you’re replacing a worn OEM blade and value longevity over saving a few dollars on aftermarket options. Skip it if you need a high-lift blade for bagging or have a non-standard deck.
