budrash 42" High-Lift Mower Blades 2-Pack for Craftsman Poulan Husqvarna — 21" Heavy-Duty Steel, 5-Point Star Fit

These are budrash high-lift replacement mower blades sized for 42" decks, sold as a two-pack and built to improve bagging and discharge on compatible Craftsman, Poulan, and Husqvarna tractors.

If your lawn tractor needs a fresh set of blades that boost airflow and lift clippings for bagging or side discharge, these high-lift blades are designed to restore cutting performance on many 42" decks. Constructed from heavy-duty steel with a five-point star center hole, they match common OEM part numbers and come in a pair so you can replace both sides of the deck at once. Measure your spindle pattern and confirm the original part number before ordering to ensure fit.

How do these high-lift blades improve cutting and bagging?

High-lift blades are shaped to create stronger upward suction inside the deck, which helps lift grass for a cleaner cut and more efficient bagging. The increased airflow moves clippings toward the chute or bag, reducing clumping and encouraging more uniform discharge.

• Vertical blade angle boosts airflow through the deck
• Helps lift tall or dense grass for even cutting
• Designed to channel clippings toward bagger or discharge port

What are the physical specifications and build details?

Each blade in this two-pack measures 21" length, 2-1/4" width, and 1/6" thickness. They are stamped from heavy-gauge metal and finished to resist corrosion and wear under normal mowing conditions. The center mounting hole uses a 5-point star pattern — verify your spindle hub matches before installing.

• Blade length: 21"; width: 2-1/4"; thickness: 1/6"
• Five-point star center hole for compatible spindle hubs
• Durable steel construction for longer service life

How should I install and maintain these replacement blades?

Installation follows standard mower blade replacement steps: disconnect spark plug, remove old blades, align new blade center hole with spindle, and torque mounting hardware to the manufacturer’s spec. Regular sharpening and balanced installation keep cutting performance consistent and reduce vibration.

• Always disconnect mower power before replacing blades
• Sharpen and balance blades periodically for smooth operation
• Verify torque specs and secure mounting hardware tightly
