This is the OEM CUB CADET 30" replacement mower blade (942-04385) designed to fit CC30 series Mini Rider tractors including CC30, CC30E, and CC30H models.

Part number 942-04385 (formerly 742-04385) is manufactured to the dimensions and mounting pattern used on the CC30 family so you can maintain the deck’s intended airflow and mulching/single-cut function.

Will this blade fit my mower model?

Yes — this blade is an OEM replacement for several CC30 Mini Rider variants. Always check your machine's owner manual or existing blade stamping to confirm compatibility before purchase. If your tractor is one of the listed models, the mount pattern and length are engineered for a direct swap.

• OEM part number: 942-04385 (replaces 742-04385)
• Compatible models: CC30, CC30E (Electric), CC30H (Hydro)
• Designed for the factory deck specifications for a direct fit

How will installing this OEM blade affect cutting performance?

Using the OEM blade helps restore the deck’s original cutting geometry and air movement, which improves clippings discharge and the overall finish. A properly matched blade reduces vibration and uneven wear, contributing to a neater, more consistent striping and bagging performance.

• Restores factory blade balance and edge profile
• Improves even discharge and mulching where applicable
• Minimizes vibration compared with mismatched aftermarket blades

What should I check before replacing the blade?

Prior to installation, inspect blade length, center hole pattern, and the mower’s spindle instructions in the owner’s manual. Wear proper safety gear, disconnect the spark plug or battery, and note blade rotation direction so the new blade is installed correctly. Tighten to the recommended torque to avoid loosening or damage.

• Confirm part number 942-04385 matches the blade being replaced
• Verify center hole and mounting pattern against your spindle
• Follow safety steps: disconnect power, wear gloves, torque to spec

How long can I expect this replacement blade to last?

Blade life depends on use, terrain, and maintenance: lawns with frequent debris or rocky ground will dull blades faster than smooth turf. Regular sharpening and timely replacement when edges are rounded or bent will keep your deck cutting close to factory performance.

• Typical lifespan varies by terrain and mowing frequency
• Sharpen periodically to maintain a clean cut and reduce strain
• Replace if bent, cracked, or excessively worn at the cutting edge

It suits homeowners and groundskeepers who prefer factory-spec parts to preserve cutting performance, reduce vibration, and simplify installation. Always refer to your original equipment owner’s manual for compatibility verification and installation guidance before ordering.
