OCPTY 30-inch mower blades for Cub Cadet 942-04385 — 2-pack, balanced sharp iron fit CC30 decks

OCPTY 30-inch replacement mower blades are a direct-fit pair designed to restore cutting performance on Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt and compatible 30" decks (part numbers 942-04385 / 742-04385).

These two iron blades are sized and punched to match factory mounting patterns for many CC30, CC30H, TR30 and similar mini rider decks, giving you a quick blade swap to get back to clean, even mowing. They come sharp and balanced from the factory, with a 6-point star center hole and dimensions that match a standard 30" cutting deck. The following sections answer common buyer questions about fit, performance, installation and care.

Will these blades fit my Cub Cadet or Troy-Bilt 30-inch deck?

Yes — the blades are manufactured to replace part numbers often listed for 30" decks, including Cub Cadet 942-04385 and 742-04385, and many Troy-Bilt and MTD models that use the same mounting pattern. Confirm your deck size and center-hole pattern before ordering to ensure compatibility.

• Designed for 30" cutting decks (blade length 29.89")
• 6-point star center hole matches common OEM mounting
• Compatible with CC30, CC30H, TR30, TB30R, Craftsman R1000/R1500 series
• Sold as a set of two blades for a full deck replacement

How do these blades improve cutting performance?

Sharp, properly balanced blades cut grass cleanly instead of tearing it, which improves the uniformity of the lawn and reduces stress on the mower. The OCPTY blades are premachined for even rotation and a consistent cutting edge, helping you finish jobs faster with a neater result.

• Sharp iron cutting edge for cleaner slices of grass
• Balanced pair reduces vibration and wear on spindles
• Mulching-style profile on each blade disperses clippings efficiently
• Thickness of 0.15" provides durability without added strain

How difficult is installation and what tools are needed?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable removing and replacing mower blades. Always follow your mower’s manual safety procedures—disconnect the spark plug and secure the deck—then unbolt the old blades and fit the replacement pair in the correct orientation.

• Required: wrench or socket matching blade bolt size
• Tip: mark blade rotation direction before removal for correct reinstallation
• Torque bolts to manufacturer specification to prevent loosening
• Inspect blade adapters and spindles during replacement for wear

What maintenance keeps these blades cutting well season after season?

Routine care preserves the edge and prevents rust or imbalance. Clean debris after each use, sharpen as needed, and replace any blade that is bent, cracked, or worn beyond recommended dimensions.

• Clean blades after mowing to remove wet grass and prevent corrosion
• Sharpen both blades equally to maintain balance
• Check for nicks, bends or wear; replace when damaged
• Store in a dry place and apply a light oil if storing long-term

Who is this for? These OCPTY 30" blades suit homeowners and landscapers using Cub Cadet CC30-series mini riders, Troy-Bilt 30" decks, and other mowers that accept 942-04385 / 742-04385 replacements. If your mower needs a matched pair for a 30-inch cutting deck and you want economical, OEM-pattern replacements that restore cutting performance, this set is a practical choice. Always verify your model number and mounting pattern before purchase to ensure a perfect fit.
