Detailed Review
The Grasscool 942-0741A Lawn Mower Mulching Blade is a heavy-duty replacement designed for homeowners maintaining yards with 21-inch walk-behind, push, or self-propelled mowers. Built to replace OEM part numbers such as 942-0741A, 742-0741, and CMXGZAM100067, it restores cutting performance on compatible models from brands like Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, Cub Cadet, and MTD.
Crafted from durable 40MnB steel, the blade features a 3-in-1 design capable of mulching, bagging, and side discharging. Its 1-1/8-inch lift creates strong airflow and suction, which aids in collecting leaves and twigs, removing weed seed heads when paired with a bagger, and preventing clogs when cutting dewy or damp grass. It is built to power through overgrown weeds and rugged yard conditions without bogging down.
Installation is straightforward thanks to the standard bow tie center hole pattern. The blade comes with factory-painted cutting edges designed to resist rust on the shelf and safeguard your hands while mounting it beneath the mower deck. This protective paint wears off naturally during initial mowing without hindering operation.
Keep in mind that this blade is specifically dimensioned for 21-inch cutting decks and requires a bow tie spindle mount, so it will not fit round or star-shaped shafts. Additionally, while it powers through thick weeds out of the box, sharpening the blade is recommended if you want a precise, clean cut on standard turf.
Verdict: The Grasscool 942-0741A is an excellent replacement for homeowners needing a rugged, clog-resistant 3-in-1 blade for their 21-inch MTD-family mower. It provides dependable airflow and durable steel construction for tackling tough, overgrown lawns.
