Lawn Mower Blades High Lift Blade 42 inch Deck Fits for AM141034 AM137327 AM141032 M154061 for John Deere D130 D110 D105 D120 D125 X300 Z225 LA135 Z235 SST15 X310 Select Series, 2 PCS

What It Is

This is a set of two high-lift replacement blades for 42-inch John Deere lawn tractor decks. Designed for improved grass clipping discharge and bagging performance, they are suited for residential mowing on select John Deere models and a few others.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your deck is 42 inches (measured cutting width). These blades replace OEM part numbers AM141034, AM137327, AM141032, and M154061. They fit John Deere D100 series (D105, D110, D120, D125, D130), Select Series X300, X310, and Z225, Z235, LA135, SST15. Also fits some older models—check your owner’s manual or current blade part number. Measure blade length (approx. 21 inches), center hole diameter (usually 1 inch), and thickness to match your deck. High-lift blades are not universal—verify that your deck and discharge system can handle the increased air flow.

Key Things to Buy

• Quality: Aftermarket blades from this brand are typically hardened steel but may not last as long as OEM. Check reviews for bending or dulling after a few uses.
• Installation: Easy if you have a socket wrench and blade removal tool. Torque bolts to 70-90 ft-lbs. Always disconnect spark plug first.
• Gotchas: High-lift blades create more suction, which can cause “scalping” on uneven ground or clogging in wet grass. They are louder than standard blades. Not for mulching—swap to mulching blades if you bag infrequently.
• Fitment note: Some users report needing to re-drill holes for older decks. Verify alignment before tightening.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you have a 42-inch John Deere deck that matches the listed models, you want better bagging performance, and you don’t mind routine blade replacement (every 1-2 seasons). Skip them if you primarily mulch, have a low-horsepower tractor, or need OEM durability for heavy commercial use.
