MaxPower 331298S Mower Blade for 42" High Lift Cut Murray Replaces OEM # 92418E701 and 095101E701 Black

What It Is

This is a 42-inch high-lift mower blade designed for Murray riding mowers, optimized for superior grass discharge and bagging performance. It replaces OEM part numbers 92418E701 and 095101E701.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck Size: Only fits 42-inch cutting decks. Measure your deck width to confirm.
• Brand/Model: Murray riding mowers (e.g., 40500, 40508, 40510 series). Check your model number against Murray’s OEM list.
• OEM Cross-Reference: Direct replacement for 92418E701 and 095101E701. Not compatible with other brands without adapter plates.
• Measurements: Blade length is 21 inches (center hole to tip); center hole diameter is 7/8-inch. Verify your spindle pattern (usually 5-point star or oval) before ordering.
• High-Lift Design: Creates more airflow than standard blades—works best with baggers or side-discharge decks. Not ideal for mulching.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made from heat-treated steel for durability; black powder coating resists rust. Sharp out of the box, but re-sharpenable.
• Installation: Easy swap with a socket wrench (typically 5/8-inch or 3/4-inch bolt). Use thread locker on bolts to prevent loosening.
• Gotcha: High-lift blades increase engine load and can throw debris farther—avoid using near gravel or loose surfaces.
• Balance: Always balance the blade after sharpening to avoid vibration and spindle damage. Use a blade balancer tool.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Murray 42-inch rider and want better bagging or side-discharge performance, this blade is a reliable, affordable upgrade. Not for mulching or non-Murray decks.
