budrash 2-Pack 42-inch Mower Blades: 138971 & 138498 Gator Mulching Blades for Craftsman, Husqvarna, Poulan Pro

Overview

Upgrade your 42-inch riding mower with Budrash 2-pack mulching blades. Built from heavy-duty metal and coated in black, these blades are designed to endure regular mowing and maintain a sharp edge through many sessions. The two blades in this set are sized for 42-inch decks, offering an option to replace worn blades without sacrificing balance or efficiency.

Each blade measures about 21 inches in length, 2-1/2 inches in width, and roughly 0.197 inches thick, with a 5-point star center hole to align with common mounting patterns. The toothed mulching design aims to cut grass into finer pieces and discharge them back to the lawn, supporting a natural recycling cycle when conditions are favorable.

Key Benefits & Real-Life Uses

• Toothed edges help produce finer clippings for a neater appearance and more even distribution across the lawn.
