ZALANA 942-05052A medium-lift blade set is a six-piece replacement blade kit designed to fit many 50-inch mower decks from Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Murray and Yard Machines.

Each blade features a 6-point star center hole and dimensional specs intended to align with models like XT1, RZT, ZT and several Mustang and Super Bronco series machines. The set arrives as six identical blades so you can refresh the entire deck at once and keep blade geometry consistent for even results.
