Cub Cadet 60 Mower Blade FAQ

Should you buy Cub Cadet 60 blades by length only?

No. The blade width found is 3 in (76 mm). That is a normal mower blade width range. Width affects airflow, lift and clipping movement under the deck. Use length, width, center hole and OEM part number together where possible

Can you modify a Cub Cadet 60 blade center hole to fit?

Do not do that. The captured center-hole detail is star / 1 in (25 mm). Grinding or drilling a mower blade can ruin balance and create vibration

What is the difference between the Cub Cadet 60 blade number and blade set number?

The captured single blade number is 942-0741A, while the captured blade set number is 742-05620. Use the single blade number for one replacement and the set number when replacing the full deck set

Why does the Cub Cadet 60 deck size matter before buying blades?

The captured deck setup is 54 in deck with 3 blades. That matters because blade sets are deck-specific, not just tractor-model-specific

Official information note

Mistakes do happen. Blade specs can change by year, mower deck, spindle, serial range and regional parts catalog. Please check the operator manual, old blade stamp, deck tag and official cubcadet.com before ordering replacement blades.
