Ecreban 46in High-Lift Mower Blades 2-Pack, Pre-sharpened Replacement for 6-Point Star Decks

Ecreban 46-inch high-lift mower blades are two pre-sharpened replacement blades designed to restore lift, airflow, and clean cuts on compatible 46" decks.

If your lawn tractor’s mowing quality has declined or the deck is clogging when tackling thick or wet grass, these high-lift replacement blades are built to bring performance back quickly. Manufactured to match the key dimensions and the 6-point star mounting pattern found on many Cub Cadet, XT1/XT2, LTX, RZT and a broad range of Craftsman models, the set includes two blades already sharpened and ready to install.

Which machines will these blades fit?

These Ecreban blades are sized and punched to match 46" decks that use a 6-point (star) center mounting. They were made to replace multiple OEM part numbers so they fit many popular Cub Cadet and Craftsman tractors. Always compare the blade length, width, thickness and center hole shape to your current blade before buying.

• Fits many Cub Cadet models: XT1-LT46, XT2, LTX1045, LTX1046 series and RZT 46 variants.
• Compatible with numerous Craftsman lawn tractor models listed in product compatibility details.
• Replaces OEM numbers such as 942-04244, 742-04244A, 942-04290 and related equivalents.

How do high-lift blades change mowing performance?

High-lift blades have a pronounced curve that generates stronger upward airflow beneath the deck. That vertical suction helps pull grass into the cutting path and eject clippings efficiently, which supports a more even cut and reduces clogging when grass is long or moist.

• Creates increased deck airflow for better bagging and side discharge.
• Helps keep clippings moving to avoid build-up under the deck.
• Promotes a cleaner, more uniform cut across the mowing width.

How easy is installation and what should I check first?

Installing these blades is straightforward: remove the old blades, orient the curved (lift) face toward the deck, and torque the mounting bolts to the mower manufacturer’s specification. Before you buy, confirm the blade’s physical dimensions and that the 6-point star mounting hole matches your spindle.

• Blade dimensions: 23-1/4" length, 2-1/2" width, 0.157" thickness.
• Mounting: 6-point star center with 1" point-to-point distance.
• Recommendation: Check center hole shape and sharpened edge orientation before final installation.

What materials and finish should I expect?

These replacement blades are supplied pre-sharpened and made from tempered steel appropriate for lawn mower use. The edges are ground for immediate use, while the overall construction balances durability with the need for periodic re-sharpening after extended use.

• Tempered steel construction for wear resistance and reliable edge retention.
• Pre-sharpened cutting edges to reduce initial setup time.
• Sold as a 2-pack so both sides of a 46" deck can be renewed at once.

Who is this for? If you own a riding mower or lawn tractor with a 46" deck and a 6-point star center mount — especially models from Cub Cadet or many Craftsman lines — and you want to restore lift, reduce clumping, or improve bagging performance, this two-pack from Ecreban is a practical replacement option. It’s suited to homeowners and landscapers who prefer a ready-to-install, pre-sharpened blade set; technicians and DIY users will appreciate the clear dimensions and broad OEM cross-reference list to ensure a correct fit.
