budrash 3-in-1 Mulching Mower Blades for 30" Mini-Rider Decks, 2-Pack — 29-15/16" Balanced Steel

This two-pack of budrash 942-04385 3-in-1 mulching mower blades replaces common OEM numbers and restores clean, consistent cutting to 30" mini-rider decks.

When your lawn mower blade wears, bends, or chips, cutting quality and fuel efficiency drop. These budrash replacement blades are engineered to match the shape, hole pattern, and lift profile of many 30" mini-riders so you can swap them in quickly and regain even, mulched clippings, side-discharge performance, or bagging capability depending on your mower setup.

Will these blades fit my mower model?

These blades are made to match the mounting pattern and dimensions used on many popular mini-riders and lawn tractors. Review the bolt pattern, center hole size, and overall length to confirm compatibility before ordering.

• Fits various Craftsman, Cub Cadet CC30, Troy-Bilt TB30, Murray LT-30, Yard Machines models
• Check: length 29-15/16", width 2-7/16", center hole 5/8" (6-point star)
• Verify outer hole spacing 2-1/2" and hole diameter 3/8" against your mower

How do these mulching blades improve cutting performance?

The blades are formed with an air-lift curve and a polished cutting edge to produce finer clippings and smoother airflow under the deck. That helps the deck maintain consistent lift for even cuts and reduces clumping during mulching or bagging operations.

• Curved lift profile improves grass lift and airflow
• Polished edge delivers cleaner slices and reduces tearing
• Balanced shape minimizes vibration for steadier operation
• Durable steel resists bending and premature wear

What tools and steps are needed to install these blades?

Installation is straightforward if you have the right wrench and follow safety steps: disconnect spark plug, elevate and secure the mower, then swap the blades. Orientation matters—make sure the air-lift curve faces the deck for correct cutting action.

• Required tool: appropriately sized socket wrench for blade mounting bolt
• Remove old blade, align new blade with bolt pattern, and tighten to spec
• Ensure lift curve points toward the deck and blades are balanced
• Reconnect spark plug and test at low speed before full use

Are these blades long-lasting and easy to maintain?

Manufactured from premium steel with a protective finish, these blades resist impact damage and maintain a sharp edge longer than untreated metal. Quick sharpening and routine inspection keep them performing season after season.

• High-strength steel resists bending and cracking
• Polished cutting edge for extended sharpness
• Simple to sharpen with a file or grinder following the factory bevel
• Inspect for chips or warping after striking hidden objects

They suit anyone needing reliable mulching, side-discharge, or bagging performance across Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Murray, and similar models—provided the mower’s bolt pattern and dimensions match the blade specifications.
