MaxPower 561298B Blade Set for 42" Cut Murray Replaces OEM No. 095101E701, 92418,92418E701

What It Is

The MaxPower 561298B is a replacement blade set for 42-inch cutting deck Murray lawn tractors, designed to mulch or bag clippings. It’s a direct aftermarket alternative to the OEM Murray part numbers 095101E701, 92418, and 92418E701.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only fits 42-inch cutting decks. Measure your deck width to confirm.
• Brand/model: Fits most Murray tractors with a 42" deck (e.g., Murray 42" Select, WideCut, and many MTD-built craftsman or Yard Machines variants). Check your mower’s model number (stamped under seat or on frame) against MaxPower’s online fitment list.
• OEM vs aftermarket: Replaces Murray OEM 095101E701, 92418, 92418E701. Not compatible with 42" decks from other brands (e.g., John Deere, Husqvarna) unless explicitly listed.
• Measurements: Blade length is 21 inches (center hole to tip), with a 5-point star center hole and 0.5-inch diameter hole for the blade bolt. Verify your existing blade matches these dimensions before buying.
• Set includes: Two blades (left and right) plus one center blade (three total). Some Murray 42" decks use two blades only; check your current setup.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Heat-treated steel with a hard coating for rust resistance. Rated 4.6/5; users report good balance and sharpness out of the box.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need a socket wrench and a blade removal tool (or block the blade). Torque bolts to 70-90 ft-lbs. Reverse-thread on some models—verify before tightening.
• Common gotcha: These are mulching/blade-style (not high-lift). If you bag clippings, they work fine; for side discharge, they may leave clumps in wet grass.
• Fitment nuance: Some late-model Murray decks with a 42" cut use a different blade pattern (e.g., 21.5-inch length). Measure your old blade’s length and hole shape precisely.

Should You Buy It

Buy this set if you own a Murray (or compatible MTD) 42-inch deck tractor and want a reliable, affordable replacement for mulching or bagging. Skip it if you need high-lift blades for side discharge, or if your deck uses a different bolt pattern or two-blade design.
