SCBHWJ 42-Inch Deck Mower Blades 2-Pack — Fits Cub Cadet & Troy Bilt, 6-Point Star OEM Fit

These two SCBHWJ 42-inch replacement mower blades restore cutting performance for Cub Cadet, Troy Bilt, Craftsman and compatible 42" decks with a 6-point star center.

If your riding mower is leaving uneven strips or struggling through thick grass, swapping in properly sized blades is one of the fastest fixes. The SCBHWJ 42 Inch Deck Mower Blade 2-pack is built to match the OEM fit and geometry for many Cub Cadet, Troy Bilt, Craftsman and Toro machines. Made to the same mounting pattern and overall dimensions as the original parts, these blades aim to reproduce the factory cutting width and blade balance so you get cleaner, more consistent results without modifying your deck.

Which mower models will these blades fit?

These blades are manufactured to replace multiple OEM part numbers and work with a wide list of 42" decks. They fit many Cub Cadet XT1, XT2, LT and LX series models, numerous Troy Bilt Hydro and Pony machines, and several Craftsman and Toro decks listed by model families. Always verify blade length, width and center hole pattern against your current blade before purchase.

How do these blades affect cutting performance?

Using blades with the correct profile and balance helps produce a uniform cut, improved mulching, and fewer clumps left behind. These SCBHWJ blades mimic OEM geometry so they restore the intended airflow and lift across the deck. Properly installed and sharpened blades will reduce scalp marks and push clippings into the bagging or discharge path more efficiently.

• OEM-like profile preserves factory airflow and lift for even cutting.
• Balanced design minimizes vibration and wear on spindles.
• Heat-treated steel holds an edge longer when sharpened correctly.
• Two-blade pack ensures full coverage for 42" decks that use dual blades.

What are the exact dimensions and installation details?

Knowing the precise measurements prevents fitment problems. Each blade half measures 21 1/6" from tip to center, 2-3/8" wide, and 0.157" thick. The center hole is the 6-point star style used on many Cub Cadet and related decks. Installation requires basic hand tools and standard safety precautions—disconnect spark plug, remove the mounting hardware, swap blades, and torque to the manufacturer’s specification.

• Length: 21 1/6" (per blade half), Width: 2-3/8", Thickness: 0.157".
• Center hole: 6-point star pattern compatible with listed machines.
• Installation: disconnect spark plug, remove hardware, replace blades, torque to spec.
• Ships as a 2-pack so both blades on a 42" deck can be replaced at once.

Who this is for: These replacement blades suit homeowners and small-property landscapers who maintain Cub Cadet, Troy Bilt, Craftsman or Toro 42" riding mowers and want an affordable OEM-fit alternative. Choose this 2-pack if your deck uses two blades and you want matched parts for consistent balance and cut quality. If you’re replacing only one blade, consider replacing both to preserve balance and reduce vibration-related wear.
