High Lift Mower Blade 4 Pack for 46 in Deck - Durable Replacement

In this review of the 4 pack High Lift Mower Blade for 46 in decks, the reviewer finds these blades ideal for owners of Cub Cadet and compatible zero-turn and lawn tractor models who need an affordable, reliable replacement. The biggest reason to buy is simple: these blades replace several OEM numbers and restore cutting performance with a heavy-duty shape and a 6 point star center that matches factory fittings, so you get professional cut quality without a trip to a dealer.

Key Features

• OEM Compatibility: Replaces multiple OEM numbers so owners of Cub Cadet and MTD machines can fit these blades without guessing model variants.
• Exact Dimensions: 23-1/4 in length and 3-1/8 in width deliver the correct blade sweep for a 46 in deck to maintain even cutting overlap.
• High Lift Design: The 1-3/8 in lift profile improves bagging and grass lift, which helps lift clippings for a cleaner cut especially in thicker turf.
• Star Center Hole: The 6 point star (5/8 in) center hole matches factory spindles for a secure fit and consistent blade rotation under load.
• Durable Construction: Built from heavy-gauge material with consistent edge geometry to hold up through a season of mowing.
• Easy DIY Swap: Straightforward installation allows backyard maintenance without special tools or professional service.

Who It's For

This blade set is best for homeowners and small property owners who run a 46 in deck Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt or MTD lawn tractor or zero-turn model and want a direct-fit, high lift replacement that restores cut quality and bagging performance. It suits people who prefer doing routine maintenance themselves and value cost-effective, OEM-compatible parts.

Owners who need blades for decks other than 46 in, who require specialized scalloped or mulching-only blades, or who need factory-branded warranty parts should look elsewhere. Also, those seeking brand-new OEM packaging or dealer-installed service may prefer original dealer parts.
