Aeagle Mower Blades for 50" Deck — High-Lift 6-Point Star, 3-Pack (Black) for Cub Cadet

Aeagle replacement high-lift mower blades (3-pack) designed to fit 50" Cub Cadet, RZT and compatible garden tractors with a 6-point star center hole.

These Aeagle high-lift blades are engineered as direct replacements for part numbers like 942-05052A and 742-05052A and fit many Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, MTD and Craftsman 50" decks made before 2020. Built with a 6-point star center hole and full high-lift profile, this three-blade set restores cutting performance, improves clippings lift into the deck and helps maintain an even finish for dense lawns and larger mowing areas.

Which machines will these blades work with?

These blades match tractors and zero-turns that accept 6-point star center-hole blades and a 50" deck profile or some 34" decks. They are intended for a range of Cub Cadet XT1, XT2, ZT1, ZT2, RZT, and earlier model lawn tractors, plus select Troy-Bilt and Craftsman models.

• Replaces 942-05052A, 742-05052A and similar part numbers (6-point star center).
• Fits Cub Cadet XT1/XT2/GT50/LT50 and ZT1/ZT2 50" models (pre-2020).
• Compatible with RZT series zero-turns and Troy-Bilt Super Bronco/Mustang XP 50 models.
• Also suits select Craftsman G-series and Z-series lawn tractors.

How do these high-lift blades change cutting and collection?

The high-lift profile creates stronger upward airflow beneath the deck, which helps stand grass upright for a cleaner cut and more consistent discharge into the collection system or mulching area. This means better sweep and fewer clumps when conditions are right.

• High-lift flange for improved upward suction and cleaner cuts.
• Designed to move clippings efficiently to baggers or mulchers.
• Sharper, uniform trailing edge for even striping and finish.
• Three-blade set restores balanced deck performance.

What are the key dimensions and fit details I should check?

Before ordering, verify your deck size and center-hole pattern. These blades measure roughly 17-1/4" long, 2-3/8" wide, about 5/32" thick, and use a 6-point star center — matching many 50" and some 34" decks on older Cub Cadet machines.

• Overall length: approximately 17-1/4" (blade tip to tip).
• Cutting width: about 2-3/8" and thickness near 5/32".
• Air lift height: around 1-1/16" (high-lift profile).
• Center hole: 6-point star pattern, confirm with your spindle hardware.

How do I install and maintain these blades for best life?

Installation follows standard mower blade procedures: disconnect the spark plug, support the deck, and torque mounting bolts to the manufacturer’s specs. Keep blades balanced and sharpened when needed; replace if bent, cracked, or excessively worn.

• Always disconnect spark and secure mower before blade service.
• Check blade balance after sharpening to avoid vibration.
• Inspect regularly for nicks, bends or fatigue; replace in sets for balance.
• Tighten blades to the mower maker’s recommended torque values.

Who is this for: Homeowners and small-property caretakers with Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, MTD or compatible Craftsman 50" (and some 34") deck tractors and zero-turn mowers who need a reliable, OEM-compatible replacement blade set. This Aeagle 3-pack is suited for anyone restoring cutting power after wear, replacing damaged blades after impacts, or upgrading to a high-lift profile for improved collection and finish on medium-to-large lawns.
