Oregon 6PK 98-629 G3 Mulching Gator Blades 42" Compatible with Craftsman T110 13AN77XS093

What It Is

The Oregon 6PK 98-629 G3 Mulching Gator Blades are a set of six aftermarket mulching blades designed for 42-inch cutting decks, optimized for fine grass clipping mulching and bagging performance on residential tractors like the Craftsman T110.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, measure your deck to confirm it is exactly 42 inches (center spindle to center spindle). This set fits Craftsman T110 model 13AN77XS093 and many other 42-inch MTD/Craftsman tractors. Verify your spindle hole pattern: these blades use a 5-point star center hole (1 inch diameter) with a 0.75-inch center hole depth. Check your OEM blade part number—this set replaces 742-04238, 742-04238A, or 742-04238B. Measure your current blade length (should be 20.5 inches from tip to tip) and width (2.5 inches). Do not assume fitment based on deck size alone—some 42-inch decks use different blade lengths or center hole shapes.

Key Things to Buy

• Quality: Oregon G3 blades are heat-treated steel with a boron coating for wear resistance, but they are thinner than OEM blades—expect slightly shorter lifespan in sandy or rocky soil.
• Installation difficulty: Easy—just remove the old blades, clean the spindles, and torque new blades to 70-80 ft-lbs. No special tools beyond a socket wrench and blade removal tool.
• Common gotchas: The 5-point star hole can be tight; do not force it or you may strip. Check blade balance before installation (Oregon blades are usually balanced, but verify). These blades are for mulching only—they will not lift grass as well for side discharge or bagging compared to OEM lift blades.
• Pack size: You get six blades, enough for a full set on a 42-inch deck (three spindles, two blades per spindle). Keep spares for blade rotation.

Should You Buy It

Buy this set if you prioritize fine mulching on a Craftsman T110 or similar 42-inch deck, want a full replacement set at a competitive price, and are comfortable with easy DIY installation. Skip it if you need OEM-grade durability for heavy-duty use, prefer bagging performance, or have a deck with non-standard spindle hole patterns.
