JSXDNWYJ High-Lift Replacement Blades for Cub Cadet 48" Mower — OEM Fit 16-15/16" x 3" x 0.1875"

These JSXDNWYJ high-lift replacement blades restore powerful airflow and cleaner cuts for 48" Cub Cadet decks compatible with part 02005017.

Replace worn or damaged blades with a pair engineered to match OEM fit and lift characteristics for a range of Cub Cadet and MTD 48-inch decks. These blades are manufactured to the same dimensions as the original equipment — 16-15/16" long, 3" wide, 0.1875" thick with a 3/4" center hole — so they bolt on quickly and maintain deck balance. They’re intended for users who need reliable mulching or bagging performance and want a direct-fit alternative that works with common 48" mower accessories and mulch kits.

Will these blades fit my Cub Cadet 48" deck?

Yes — they are produced to the OEM size and hole pattern used across many Cub Cadet 48" models, so installation is straightforward when your deck uses the same mounting pitch and center diameter.

• Exact blade length: 16-15/16 inches for proper edge reach
• Width and thickness match OEM at 3" x 0.1875" for strength
• Center hole 3/4" fits standard Cub Cadet spindle bolts
• Replaces OEM numbers including 01005336, 02005017, 742-04417, 942-04417

How do these high-lift blades change bagging or mulching performance?

The tall blade profile generates stronger upward airflow inside the deck, which improves grass lift for cleaner, more even cuts and more efficient bag filling. They are suitable for bagging, side-discharge, and many mulch kit configurations when the deck and engine power support higher airflow.

• High-lift design boosts suction for fuller bags and better clipping evacuation
• Sharper leading edge maintains cutting efficiency longer between sharpenings
• Balanced shape reduces vibration when installed as a matched set
• Compatible with the 48" MTD OEM mulch kit where specified

What models and accessories are these blades compatible with?

These blades fit a broad list of Cub Cadet and MTD machines that use a 48" mower deck with the same blade spec. They also match the mounting and lift requirements for several Z-Force and Tank series machines.

• Compatible models include M48-KW, M48-HN, Z-Force Pro 48, Z-Force S 48, Tank 48 series and more
• Works with OEM 48" mulch kit 19A70037 when the kit requires high-lift blades
• Cross-reference OEM numbers to confirm fit before purchase
• Designed for standard 48" decks, not custom or modified spindle setups

What should I expect after installation and how do I maintain them?

Once installed and torqued to the manufacturer’s spec, you should notice improved clipping lift and more consistent bag fill. Routine maintenance keeps cutting performance high and extends blade life.

• Balance new blades together to minimize vibration after installation
• Sharpen edges periodically; inspect for bends, nicks, and wear
• Replace blades in matched pairs for even cutting and reduced vibration
• Follow mower manufacturer torque and safety instructions when mounting
