(2PCS) 942-04385 Mulching Lawn Mower Blades 3-in-1 - Fits 30 in Deck

In this review the (2PCS) 942-04385 mulching lawn mower blades are examined for homeowners and service pros who need a dependable replacement set for a 30 in mower deck. The bottom line: these blades offer a durable steel construction and powder coating that resist rust while restoring mulching and cutting performance. Our review finds them especially useful when replacing worn OEM blades on compatible Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt and similar mini riders, where fit and edge retention matter most.

Key Features

• Direct fit compatibility: Replaces OEM part numbers and fits a range of 30 in mini rider decks, simplifying replacement without modification.
• High-grade steel construction: The sturdy steel body improves impact resistance and supports long service life under normal mowing conditions.
• Powder coated finish: The coating helps prevent rust and maintains blade balance for more efficient cutting and reduced corrosion over time.
• 3-in-1 mulching design: Designed to mulch, bag, or side discharge, which gives flexibility depending on yard needs and the mower setup.
• Exact blade dimensions: At roughly 29-15/16 in length and 2-1/2 in width with 0.15 in thickness, the blades provide an appropriate profile for 30 in decks that require a 6 point star center hole.
• Two-blade package: Includes a pair of blades so both sides of the deck can be refreshed at once, saving a second trip to purchase replacements.

Who It's For

This blade set is for owners of 30 in mini rider mowers such as Craftsman E150, R105, R110, R140, R1500, Columbia CR30, Cub Cadet CC30 series, Troy-Bilt TB30 and Yard-Machines LT-30 who need a reliable, affordable replacement that restores mulching capability. It is also suited to small lawn care businesses that keep a stock of common replacement blades for routine maintenance.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of decks that do not use a 6 point star center hole or who require blades with a different length or thickness; also users who want OEM-branded parts specifically should verify compatibility before ordering.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable high-grade steel construction improves longevity compared with thin stamped blades.
• Powder coating resists rust and keeps cutting efficiency consistent over time.
• Designed for 3-in-1 use so it can mulch, bag, or discharge effectively with compatible deck setups.
• Sold in a two-pack so both blades on a 30 in deck can be replaced together.

Cons

• Requires verification of the 6 point star center hole shape; not universal for all 30 in decks.
• Thickness and edge profile are fixed, so users seeking specialty high-lift or precision ground blades may need a different model.
