What It Is

This is a 3-pack of aftermarket mower blades designed for 50-inch Cub Cadet lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers. They replace OEM part numbers 742P05094, 742-05094, 490-110-C193, and 490-110-Y193, and are intended for cutting grass on residential turf.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only fits 50-inch cutting decks. Measure your deck or check your model number (e.g., XT1-LT50, ZT1-50, ZT2-50).
• Mounting hole: 7/8-inch diamond center hole. Verify your spindle matches this shape; some older or non-Cub Cadet decks may use a round hole or different size.
• OEM vs aftermarket: These are aftermarket replacements, not Genuine Cub Cadet parts. They should fit all listed models, but check blade length (typically around 16.5 inches) and thickness (usually 0.203 inches) against your old blade.
• What to measure: Overall length, center hole diameter, and blade offset (curved vs flat). If your OEM blade has a different hole shape or length, these won’t work.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: User rating is 5.0 (1 review) – limited feedback. Aftermarket blades may be slightly thinner or less balanced than OEM; inspect for warping before install.
• Installation difficulty: Easy – jack up mower, remove old blades with a socket or wrench, torque to 70-90 ft-lbs. Use a blade removal tool or block of wood to prevent spinning.
• Common gotchas: Diamond hole orientation matters – it must align with the spindle keyway. Also, these are for standard cutting, not mulching or bagging; check if your deck requires specific blade style.
• Maintenance: Sharpen or replace after 25-50 hours of use, or sooner if hitting rocks/roots. Dull blades tear grass, causing brown tips.

Should You Buy It

Buy this set if you own a 50-inch Cub Cadet XT1, ZT1, or ZT2 and need a budget-friendly 3-pack for regular blade swaps. It’s a solid choice for residential mowing, but if you want guaranteed balance or longer life, consider OEM blades. For the price, it’s a good value for keeping spare blades on hand.
