Chway 50-inch Mulching Mower Blades 3-Pack 6-Point Star Center — High-Lift, Heat-Treated Steel

Chway 3-pack 942-04053C are 50-inch mulching, high-lift replacement mower blades with a 6-point star center designed for compatible Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, MTD and similar 50" decks.

These blades are engineered to restore cutting performance on 50" deck lawn mowers that accept the 6-point star spindle. Built from heat-treated high-strength steel and balanced for smooth rotation, each blade combines a high-lift profile for bagging with a curved mulching surface that chops clippings finely. Before ordering, confirm your deck uses the 6-point star center pattern and compare OEM numbers to ensure a correct fit.

Will these blades fit my 50" deck mower?

They fit only 50" decks with a 6-point star spindle center. This chway blade will not work with circular, S-shape, or other hole patterns; some models labeled 50" use a different mounting spec. Compare your old blade OEM number (for example 942-04053C) to our listing to avoid a mismatch.

• Center: 6-point star hole — required for installation
• Deck size: 50" — designed specifically for 50-inch decks
• OEM cross-reference: 942-04053 / 942-04053C and related variants
• If tight fit: clean spindle and avoid forcing the blade

How do these blades improve bagging, side discharge, and mulching?

The high-lift geometry creates strong upward airflow that lifts grass for a cleaner cut and moves clippings into a bagger or side chute more effectively. The curved, aerodynamic surface then recuts clippings into finer pieces for mulching, helping return organic matter to the turf without producing large clumps.

• High-lift edge: boosts airflow for effective bagging and discharge
• Curved face: reduces clipping size for better mulching
• Balanced shape: minimizes vibration for uniform bagging and discharge
• Works in tall or slightly damp grass to reduce clogging

What are the construction and size specifications I should know?

Chway blades are made from heat-treated high-strength steel for durability on uneven lawns and tougher vegetation. Each blade is straightened and dynamically balanced; a rust-resistant coating helps protect hands during handling and gradually wears with use.

• Material: heat-treated high-strength steel, straightened and balanced
• Dimensions: 17-13/16" (452mm) long × 2-3/8" (60mm) wide × 0.16" (4.0mm) thick
• Lift height: 1-1/8" (28.5mm) — high-lift profile
• Pack: 3 blades per order, rust-resistant coated

Which mower models commonly accept this replacement blade?

This blade lists cross-references for many MTD, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Toro and other brands that use the 942-series OEM numbers. It’s commonly used on numerous 50" Cub Cadet and Troy-Bilt riding mowers, but always verify the center hole pattern and OEM number before buying.

• Cub Cadet models: LTX1050VT, LGT1050, i1050, LT1050, SLTX1050 and similar 50" models
• Troy-Bilt & others: Mustang XP, RZT 50 series, TB2450 and compatible 50" units
• Additional cross-references: Toro 112-0316, Windsor 50-2138, and related 742/942 part numbers
• Not compatible if your spindle hole or OEM number differs

Who is this for? This 3-pack from Chway is for homeowners and landscapers who need reliable, OEM-compatible replacement blades for 50" deck mowers that use the 6-point star center. Choose these if you want improved bagging and mulching performance, heavy-duty steel construction, and part-number compatibility with common MTD, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt and other 50" models. If your mower uses a different center hole pattern or a non-942 OEM number, check your original blade before purchase to ensure proper fitment.
