Antanker 46" Deck Mower Blades 2-Pack — Medium Lift, 23-1/4" Tip-to-Tip for Cub Cadet/Troy-Bilt/Craftsman

Antanker 942-04244A medium-lift mower blades are a two-blade replacement set engineered to fit 46" decks on select Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman and MTD models for consistent cut quality and reliable fit.

When your lawn tractor needs a direct-fit blade swap that restores cutting performance without modifying the deck, these Antanker blades provide a practical, cost-effective option. Designed to match the OEM fit pattern and lift profile, the pair includes precise dimensions and a six-point star center hole to align with many factory spindles. They are sold as a 2-pack so you can change both blades at once for even performance across the deck.

Which tractors and OEM numbers are these blades compatible with?

These blades are manufactured as replacements for multiple OEM part numbers used by MTD, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet and Craftsman. They fit a variety of models that use a 46" cutting deck and the same center hole and mounting pattern.

• Replaces OEM numbers: 942-04244, 942-04244A, 942-04290, 742-04244, 742-04244A, 742-04290, 490-110-C131, OCC-742-04244.
• Also replaces Craftsman references CMXGZAM110131 and CMXGZAM110181.
• Commonly fits Cub Cadet LTX1045/LTX1046/LTX1046VT, XT1-LT 46, XT2-LX 46 Enduro Series and many Troy-Bilt and Craftsman 46" deck tractors.

How do the dimensions and mounting pattern match my mower deck?

These blades follow the same critical measures as the factory parts to ensure correct clearance and balance on a 46" deck. Confirming length, width and center hole type will avoid fit issues and keep the blades operating safely.

• Blade length: 23-1/4" (measured tip to tip).
• Blade width: 2-3/8" for proper deck clearance.
• Center: 6-point star hole to match compatible spindles and mounting hardware.

What does "medium lift" mean and how will it affect cutting?

Medium-lift blades are shaped to create a moderate upward airflow through the deck, which helps lift grass for a cleaner cut and improves bagging without excessive suction. They strike a compromise between mulching and high-lift options, making them versatile for typical lawn conditions.

• Delivers enough suction to feed clippings to bagging systems or discharge chutes.
• Produces a balanced cut without the high debris throw of high-lift designs.
• Works well in average to slightly damp turf where extreme lift isn't required.

How should I replace and maintain these blades for best results?

Replace both blades at the same time to maintain deck balance and consistent cut height. Keep blades sharp, tightened to the manufacturer's torque, and inspect regularly for nicks, bends or wear that affect performance and safety.

• Always disconnect spark plug and follow the tractor manual when changing blades.
• Sharpen edges evenly and check for warping; replace if damaged.
• Re-torque blade bolts to factory specs and verify deck clearance before mowing.

Who is this for: This Antanker blade set is aimed at homeowners and landscapers who own a 46" deck lawn tractor from Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman or equivalent MTD-based models and need a direct-fit, medium-lift replacement. Choose this 2-pack if you prefer changing both blades at once to restore balance and cut quality with parts that match OEM dimensions and mounting patterns.
