OCPTY High-Lift Blades 42 '' Mower Blades Fit for John Deere d105 d110 d125 d130 LT160 LA135 42 inch blades for John Deere AM137327, AM141032, M154061 2Pack

What It Is

These OCPTY high-lift blades are designed for 42-inch cutting decks on select John Deere lawn tractors. The high-lift design creates stronger airflow to improve grass clipping discharge and bagging performance, making them best for regular mowing in dense or tall grass.

Fitment & Compatibility

Deck size must be exactly 42 inches. Measure your deck width before ordering—this only fits 42-inch decks, not 38 or 48 inch.

Model fit: Confirmed for John Deere D105, D110, D125, D130, LT160, and LA135. Also fits some LA130, LA140, LA145, and LX series models. Double-check your model number on the tractor frame tag.

OEM part numbers: Replaces AM137327, AM141032, and M154061. If your current blades have a different OEM number, measure center hole diameter (must be 3/4 inch) and blade length (21 inches for 42-inch decks).

What to check before buying: Verify your deck’s spindle bolt pattern—these use a single center hole with a 1-inch diameter washer. Also confirm your deck’s blade orientation (these are offset, not straight).

Key Things to Know

• Quality concern: At $25.99 for a 2-pack, these are budget blades. Expect shorter lifespan than OEM (about 1-2 seasons vs 3-4). Check for warping before installation.
• Installation: Easy with a socket wrench and blade removal tool. Torque spindle bolts to 50-60 ft-lbs. Always install with the lifting edge facing upward.
• Common gotcha: High-lift blades increase engine load and can cause belt slippage on older decks. If your tractor struggles in tall grass, switch to standard-lift blades.
• Noise/vibration: Some users report more vibration than OEM. Balance blades before installing by hanging them on a nail—if one side dips, file the heavy side slightly.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you need a low-cost replacement for a 42-inch John Deere lawn tractor and primarily mow dry, thin grass. Skip them if you want OEM durability, mow thick/wet grass, or have an older deck prone to belt issues—spend more on OEM or premium aftermarket blades instead.
