UDC Parts engineered these replacement blades to match OEM fitment and restore mulching and bagging efficiency for compatible 38\" decks. Constructed from high-strength steel and formed to the same dimensions as the original 942-0610A\/742-0610A blades, the set includes two blades so you can service both sides of a typical 38\" deck in one installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich machines will these blades fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese blades are made to replace OEM part numbers for a wide range of brands and models that use the 38-inch deck pattern.
