POSEAGLE 46-inch Mulching Blades for Cub Cadet — 2-Pack Pre-Sharpened Gator High-Lift

POSEAGLE 942-04290 mulching blades are a pair of pre-sharpened high-lift gator blades designed to replace OEM 942-04290/742-04290 series blades on 46" Cub Cadet and compatible mowers for reliable mulching, bagging, and discharge performance.

These blades are engineered to match OEM fitment and deliver a 3-in-1 mowing solution—mulch, bag, or side-discharge—without sacrificing lift or airflow. Constructed from durable, high-strength steel and finished with protective paint, they arrive ready to install and perform. Two blade nuts are included so you can swap the old blades out quickly and get back to mowing with improved clipping management and reduced deck buildup.

How do these blades improve mulching and clipping control?

The POSEAGLE gator-style cutting edges and air-lift geometry create stronger suction and finer clipping circulation beneath the deck. That improves grind and re-distribution of clippings for faster decomposition and a cleaner lawn appearance.

• Unique gator lift profile for enhanced clippings recirculation
• 1" air lift promotes stronger vertical airflow and suction
• Angled cutting edges increase clipping shearing for finer mulch

Will these blades fit my Cub Cadet or Craftsman 46" mower?

These blades are manufactured to be compatible with the OEM 942-04290 and related part numbers and fit a wide range of 46" decks from Cub Cadet, Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, Huskee, Murray and others. Check your model and deck size before ordering to confirm compatibility.

• Compatible with Cub Cadet LTX, XT, RZT and ZT series 46" models listed
• Direct replacements for Craftsman and many Troy-Bilt 46" lawn tractors
• Matches OEM measurements: 23.375" length, 2.4" width, 0.17" thickness

What are the specifications and what’s included in the package?

Each set contains two gator-style blades that meet the key OEM specs for length, thickness and lift type. POSEAGLE includes blade nuts to simplify replacement and the blades arrive pre-sharpened with a rust-resistant coating.

• Blade length: 23 3/8" (23.375), blade thickness: 0.17"
• Blade type: Gator/high-lift; air lift approximately 1"; width 2.4"
• Includes 2x 712-0417A blade nuts (5/8-18") for installation

How easy is installation and maintenance?

Installation is straightforward: remove the old blades, orient the new blades so cutting edges face the same direction, and torque the nuts to the manufacturer’s specification. The factory edge means no initial sharpening, and the protective coating helps prevent corrosion during storage and first uses.

• Pre-sharpened out of the box—no immediate sharpening required
• Protective paint for rust resistance; wears off naturally during use
• Resharpenable when worn to extend blade life

Who is this for: Homeowners and landscape pros who use 46" lawn tractor decks and want a durable, OEM-compatible mulching solution that balances bagging, side discharge and mulching performance. Ideal for users replacing worn factory blades who need an easy-install, long-lasting upgrade that maintains airflow and reduces deck clogging while producing finer clippings for a neater lawn.
