LikeLion 2 Pack AM130172 Mower Blades Kit with Bolts, Compatible with John Deere LT15 LT133 LT160 LT166 LT170 SST16 X324 GX355 Lawn Tractor Freedom 42 Mower Deck

What It Is

The LikeLion 2 Pack AM130172 Mower Blades Kit is a set of two replacement blades (with bolts) designed for 42-inch Freedom mower decks on select John Deere lawn tractors. These are aftermarket blades intended for medium-duty residential mowing, not commercial use.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these three things:

• Deck size: This kit fits only 42-inch Freedom mower decks. Measure your deck or check your model’s specs—do not assume all 42-inch decks are the same.
• Model fit: Confirmed compatible with John Deere LT15, LT133, LT160, LT166, LT170, SST16, X324, and GX355. Also fits some older L and GX series tractors. Cross-check your model number against the OEM AM130172 part number.
• Measurements: Each blade is 16.5 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, with a 0.25-inch thickness and a 7/16-inch center hole with a 1-inch star drive. Measure your existing blade length, width, and hole pattern—if yours differ, this kit won’t fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made from heat-treated carbon steel with a powder coating. Sharp out of the box, but expect faster dulling than premium OEM blades on thick or wet grass.
• Installation: Direct bolt-on replacement—no modifications needed. Use the included bolts (torque to 70-90 ft-lbs). Do not reuse old bolts.
• Common gotcha: The star drive center hole is specific to John Deere Freedom decks. If your spindle uses a different drive pattern (e.g., standard hex), these blades won’t mount properly.
• Set includes: Two blades and four bolts (two per blade). No washers or lock washers included—check your spindles for existing hardware.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible John Deere with a Freedom 42 deck and want a budget-friendly replacement pair with hardware included, this kit works well for regular residential mowing. Skip it if you need commercial-grade durability or if your blade measurements differ from the specs above—measure first to avoid returns.
