Set of 2 Heavy Duty Fits Scotts Fits Murray 42 Mower Blades 95100E701 97-019 6476

What It Is

This is a set of two heavy-duty 42-inch mower blades designed for residential riding mowers, specifically for Scotts and Murray models. They are intended for standard grass cutting, not mulching or bagging.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm these three things:

• Deck size: These blades are for a 42-inch cutting deck only. Measure your deck width if unsure.
• Model fit: Directly fits Scotts and Murray mowers using OEM part numbers 95100E701, 97-019, or 6476. Also fits some John Deere and Craftsman models with the same spindle pattern.
• Blade measurements: Each blade is approximately 21 inches long, with a 5-point star center hole and a 1-inch diameter arbor hole. Measure your old blade length and center hole shape to verify.
• OEM vs aftermarket: These are aftermarket blades, not genuine Scotts/Murray OEM. They should work as a drop-in replacement, but check blade thickness (these are heavy-duty, typically 0.25-inch versus standard 0.19-inch) to ensure they fit your spindle.

Key Things to Know

• Installation: Moderate difficulty. You’ll need a socket wrench and torque wrench (tighten to 70-90 ft-lbs). The blades are sharp—wear gloves.
• Common gotcha: The heavy-duty thickness may not fit all spindles, especially on older mowers. Test fit before tightening fully.
• Balance: Aftermarket blades are often out of balance from the box. Check balance on a blade balancer or nail; if off, it will cause vibration and bearing wear.
• Performance: These are for standard cutting only. They won’t mulch or bag effectively—expect clippings to discharge normally.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you have a 42-inch Scotts or Murray riding mower, need a direct replacement for standard cutting, and want extra durability from thicker steel. Avoid them if you need mulching or bagging blades, or if your mower requires OEM parts for warranty or fitment.
