Grasscool 50-inch High-Lift Replacement Mower Blade 942-04053C (6‑Point Star) — 2-in-1 Bagging & Side Discharge

Grasscool 942-04053C is a direct-fit 50-inch high-lift replacement blade designed for Cub Cadet riding and zero-turn mowers that use the 6-point star center hole.

If your Cub Cadet or compatible mower uses the 6-star center hole blade specification, these Grasscool blades offer a reliable replacement sized for 50-inch decks. Built as high-lift, 2-in-1 blades, they are engineered to create strong airflow for efficient bagging and side discharge. Before ordering, confirm the part number stamped on your original blade to ensure this 942-04053C (6-star hole) variant is the correct match.

Will these blades fit my Cub Cadet RZT-50, LT1050 or LTX1050?

These Grasscool blades are manufactured to match the physical dimensions and center hole profile of the 942-04053C spec used on many 50-inch Cub Cadet decks. They will fit models that were originally equipped with a 6-point star (5/8") center hole and the listed length and lift measurements. If your mower used a different blade type, you’ll need the corresponding part.

• Compatible models include RZT50, LT1050, LTX1050, LTX1050KW, LGT1050 (50" deck)
• Confirm your original part number — only 942-04053C uses the 6-star hole
• Replaces multiple MPNs in the 742/942 series when matching 6-star spec

What are the exact blade dimensions and specifications?

The Grasscool 942-04053C blade follows precise measurements so it installs and performs like the OEM unit. It’s built as a high-lift, 2-in-1 blade to support both bagging and side discharge functions while maintaining deck clearance and balance.

• Length: 17-7/8" (454 mm)
• Width: 2-1/2" (64 mm); Thickness: 5/32" (4 mm)
• Center hole: 6-point star (5/8"); Lift: 1-1/8" (28 mm)

How do these blades improve mowing performance and reduce clogging?

High-lift geometry generates strong suction and a concentrated discharge stream that helps move clippings into a bag or out the chute, minimizing buildup inside the deck. The dual-purpose profile allows the same blade to perform well for both bagging and side discharge in a variety of grass conditions, including taller or wetter growth.

• High-lift shape increases air movement for faster clipping evacuation
• 2-in-1 design handles bagging and side discharge without swapping blades
• Reduced deck clogging means fewer stops to clear clippings

What quality checks and finish details should I expect?

Grasscool subjects each blade design to multiple mechanical and field tests to ensure hardness, edge durability, balance, and real-world cutting performance. Cutting edges are temporarily painted to help prevent rust during storage and to protect hands during handling; the paint will abrade naturally with use.

• Quality testing: hardness, V-bend, chip resistance, balance, and field trials
• Edges painted for rust resistance and user safety during installation
• High-lift steel construction designed to maintain balance and minimize vibration

Who is this for? If you own a Cub Cadet or compatible 50-inch deck mower originally equipped with a 6-point star center hole blade and you need a dependable high-lift replacement that supports both bagging and side discharge, the Grasscool 942-04053C is made for you. Confirm the part number on your current blade before purchasing — if your deck uses a different hole pattern (S-hole, circle hole, or other 6-star variants), choose the matching specification to ensure safe, correct fit and optimal deck performance.
