Overview

The UDC Parts Mulching Blade 942-0741A is a robust 21-inch replacement blade designed to fit a wide range of popular mowers.

It is built to replace a broad set of OEM numbers, giving you a practical option for keeping your mower ready for the next session without hunting for a specific part.

Designed to work with many 21-inch decks from trusted brands, it accommodates machines from Craftsman, MTD, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, White Outdoor, and others. This versatility makes it a sensible choice for homeowners who value dependable performance and straightforward maintenance when performing routine lawn care.

What to expect in use

In typical mowing scenarios, you may notice a steadier feed of clippings and a more uniform mulch pattern. The blade size is matched to standard 21-inch decks, designed for balanced cutting action without requiring changes to your setup or routine.

With thoughtful weight distribution, the blade can help minimize vibration and support a consistent cut across straight runs and subtle curves, contributing to a tidy lawn edge over time when paired with regular deck maintenance and proper blade height.

Installation note

  • Paint on the cutting edge is a safety coating that wears off quickly during initial operation.

Safety reminder: disconnect power, let the blade and deck cool, and follow standard blade replacement steps to ensure proper seating and secure mounting.
