MTD Genuine Parts Blade

These blades are designed for 50-inch decks on MTD-manufactured equipment, including brands like Troy-Bilt, Bolens, and Huskee. The most reliable way to confirm fitment is to check your mower's manual for part numbers 942-05052 or 742-05052, or verify that your current blade has a star-shaped center mounting hole.

High-lift blades feature a more aggressive curve or 'wing' at the end of the blade. This design creates increased airflow, which is essential for lifting grass clippings efficiently into your bagger or pushing them out through the side discharge chute.

Yes, this package includes three blades, which is the complete set required to replace all blades on a standard 50-inch mower deck.

While these are optimized for bagging due to their high-lift design, they work perfectly fine for side discharge as well. However, if you primarily mulch your grass, you might find that a dedicated mulching blade provides a cleaner finish.

Installing mower blades is a standard maintenance task, but it does require safety precautions. You will need to disconnect the spark plug wire, secure the deck, and use a wrench to remove the mounting bolt; always wear heavy-duty gloves to protect your hands from the sharp edges.
