Parts Camp 2 Pack 490-110-C203 742-05510-X 742p05510 Mower Blades for 46" Deck Cub Cadet Troy Bilt Craftsman,Fits XT1-LT46 XT2-LX46 Riding Mower and Zero-Turn Mowers, 7/8" Diamond Center Hole

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of aftermarket 46-inch deck mower blades designed for Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, and Craftsman riding mowers and zero-turn mowers. They feature a 7/8-inch diamond center hole and are intended for standard grass cutting, not mulching or bagging.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your deck measures exactly 46 inches (blade length is approximately 20.5 inches each). These blades fit models like Cub Cadet XT1-LT46, XT2-LX46, and compatible zero-turn mowers with a 7/8-inch diamond center hole. They replace OEM numbers 490-110-C203, 742-05510-X, and 742p05510. Check your current blade’s center hole shape—diamond, not round—and measure the blade length (end to end) and width. Also verify the spindle bolt pattern: these use a 5/8-inch hex or 7/16-inch bolt. Avoid assuming fit for non-46-inch decks or older models with round center holes.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs OEM: These are aftermarket blades, typically made of hardened steel but may not match OEM sharpness or thickness. Expect shorter lifespan than factory Cub Cadet blades.
• Installation is straightforward: Use a socket wrench and torque to 45-55 ft-lbs. Always wear gloves, and sharpen or replace in pairs for balanced cutting.
• Common gotcha: The diamond center hole is specific—double-check your spindle’s center hole shape. If yours is round, these won’t fit without an adapter.
• No mulching or bagging: These are standard lift blades. For mulching, look for blades with a curved or serrated edge.

Should You Buy It

If you need a budget-friendly replacement for a 46-inch deck Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, or Craftsman rider with a 7/8-inch diamond center hole, this 2-pack offers decent value for regular mowing. It’s not ideal for heavy-duty use or mulching, but for homeowners with a single mower, it’s a solid, cost-effective choice.
