Mr Mower Parts Low Lift Blade S-Shaped Hole Compatible with CUB Cadet 742P05094-L 17.271", Enduro XT1-LT50 Ultima ZT1-50 ZT2-50 - 3 Pack

What It Is

This is a set of three low-lift replacement blades designed for 50-inch Cub Cadet mower decks. They are ideal for bagging or side-discharge mowing on flat lawns, where reduced vacuum and less clumping are priorities.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Fits only 50-inch cutting decks.
• OEM replacement: Replaces Cub Cadet part number 742P05094-L. Aftermarket from Mr Mower Parts.
• Blade length: 17.271 inches center-to-center. Measure your existing blade’s length from hole center to hole center before buying.
• Hole type: S-shaped center hole (not a standard star or round hole). Check your spindle’s hole pattern matches.
• Model examples: Compatible with Cub Cadet Enduro XT1-LT50, Ultima ZT1-50, and ZT2-50. Verify your specific model and deck number (e.g., 50C or 50F) in the owner’s manual.

Key Things to Know

• Low lift design: Produces less suction than high-lift blades. Best for bagging or side-discharge; not ideal for mulching thick or wet grass.
• Installation: Straightforward if you have a torque wrench and blade removal tool. Use a block of wood to lock the blade. Torque bolts to 70–90 ft-lbs.
• Sharpness out of box: Some users report they need balancing or light sharpening before first use. Check balance on a simple blade balancer.
• Set of three: One pack covers an entire 50-inch deck. No need to buy multiple packs.

Should You Buy It

Buy this set if you have a 50-inch Cub Cadet with an S-shaped spindle hole and you primarily bag or side-discharge on flat turf. It’s a cost-effective aftermarket alternative to OEM blades, but be prepared to check balance and sharpness before installation. Avoid if you need high-lift blades for mulching or uneven terrain.
