ILONPA 942-05056A 54" 6-Star Mower Blades for Cub Cadet ZT1/ZT2, XT1/XT2, RZT S54 – Hi-Lift, Blue

Overview

ILONPA 942-05056A 54" 6-Star Mower Blades are designed to support a wide range of 54" decks across Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, and Columbia brands. This blade set targets the 2019–2020 era models and accommodates others with compatible center hole configurations. Expect a blade system built to align with your mower’s cutting width and deck geometry, giving you a practical option for home lawns and small-to-medium yards.

Two blade hub configurations exist in the market. The version in this kit uses a 6-point star center hole, which is common on many pre-2020 blades. If your existing blade uses an S-shaped center hole, you should order replacement MPNs 738-05081/490-110-C194/742P05086 to ensure a snug, secure fit. Verifying the center hole type before ordering helps you avoid mismatches and downtime.
