490-110-C187 742-05620 High Lift Blades for 60 in Deck - 3Pack

Our review looks at the 3Pack of high lift replacement blades that fit 60 in deck mowers from Cub Cadet, MTD and Troy-Bilt. Bottom line: these blades are for owners who need an affordable, ready-to-install replacement set that matches OEM hole pattern and gives solid lift for bagging or mulching. They replace OEM numbers 742-05620, 742P05620 and 490-110-C187 and come in a three blade set, making them a straightforward swap for the Ultima ZT2-60 and ZT3-60 models when you want decent performance without paying dealer prices.

Key Features

• OEM Compatibility: Direct replacement for Cub Cadet, MTD and Troy-Bilt OEM numbers so installation is usually plug-and-play for compatible 60 in decks.
• Three-Blade Set: The package includes three blades, providing a complete blade change for a 60 in deck in one purchase.
• Center Hole Pattern: Features a 6 point star center hole to match the mower's mounting pattern and ensure a secure fit.
• Durable Finish: Blades are finished in green paint for rust and corrosion resistance to extend service life between replacements.
• High Lift Design: The blade profile is intended to produce stronger lift for improved bagging and grass lift compared with low-lift profiles.
• After-Sales Support: The seller offers replacement or refund options and responsive service if parts or fitment issues arise.

Who It's For

This set is best for owners of Cub Cadet Ultima ZT2-60 and ZT3-60 models (including the 17AIEAC5010, 17RIEAC5010 and 17AZEAC5010 references) who need a full blade replacement for a 60 in deck. It suits homeowners and small property managers who want OEM-compatible parts at a lower price and a complete three-blade swap in one box.

Those who should look elsewhere include users with nonstandard aftermarket decks or different center hole patterns, and buyers seeking premium, heavy-gauge commercial blades; some customers noted mixed feedback on thickness and cut quality, so professionals who require the thickest steel might prefer commercial-grade options.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Includes three blades for a complete 60 in deck replacement in one purchase.
• Painted finish helps resist rust and the high lift profile improves bagging performance.

Cons

• Some users report mixed cut quality and variable thickness, so blades may benefit from sharpening or inspection on arrival.

Specifications

Our Verdict

These blades are a practical, cost-effective choice for owners of compatible Cub Cadet and Troy-Bilt 60 in mowers who need a full three-blade replacement. They match OEM hole patterns, offer a rust-resistant finish, and deliver solid high-lift performance for bagging; just inspect or sharpen on arrival if you need the sharpest cut or thicker metal for heavy commercial use.
