Short answer
For a 42-inch Craftsman, Husqvarna, Poulan or Poulan Pro deck whose old blades are 532138971, 532138498, 532127843 or 127843, the Craftsman CMXGZAM110136 two-blade set is the listed match.[1] For a Cub Cadet lawn tractor or RZT with a 42-inch deck, it is Cub Cadet's 490-110-C202 two-blade set.[2] For select 34- and 50-inch Toro TimeCutters built in 2011 and later, Toro lists its 79016P high-lift blades.[3]
How we chose
A set is on this list only if:
- Its maker states the deck it is for and the blade count. Craftsman's CMXGZAM110136 contains two blades with a 5-point star center hole.[1] Oregon sells its 42TGR1HL2 as a set of two for 42-inch Toro and Exmark riding decks and its 50TGR1HL3 as a set of three for 50-inch Toro and Exmark zero-turn decks.[4] A count stated for one deck does not apply to every deck of that width: Oregon's 92-105 takes three blades for a 48-inch cut.[5]
- The center hole is named where the maker states it. Craftsman says the S-shaped hole on its CMXGZAM110191 set prevents upside-down installation,[6] one reason never to swap hole types.
- "Set" is checked against a single blade. Toro's 115-5059-03 is a single 17.5-inch blade for select TimeCutters built in 2011 and later,[7] so a three-blade deck needs three.
- The product is approved in our catalog, from the brand's store or one it links.
On 2026-10-17 nine sets met this bar. Oregon's D-42-2G, a set of two 21-inch Gator blades with a 5-point star hole, lists the Husqvarna and Craftsman numbers it replaces.[8] EGO lists its AB4200D and AB4201D high-lift sets, two 21-inch blades each, for its 42-inch Z6 and T6 riding mowers.[9][10] Oregon's 96-370 is a 22-7/8-inch, 5-point star Gator blade whose fit guide names 46-inch Husqvarna and Poulan tractors; its page gives no count, so the 2-pack is the listing's.[11] For 50- and 54-inch decks, the maker's three-blade 2-in-1 sets replace MTD 490-110-M155 and 490-110-M143.[12][13] Oregon's Toro and Exmark sets are not in our catalog yet.

What to check before you order
- Your old blade's number. Craftsman lists no mower models for the CMXGZAM110136, only the part numbers it replaces.[1]
- The pack count on Toro's 79016P. Toro's page title says "(3-Pack)" while its text says the blade is sold individually. Confirm on the listing how many blades ship before you order for a three-blade deck.
- Blade length. Craftsman's page gives no length for the CMXGZAM110136; match by part number.
For background, see blades per deck and blade length and 42-inch mower blade sets.
Questions
Are all 42-inch blade sets interchangeable?
No. Craftsman's CMXGZAM110136 has a 5-point star hole and Cub Cadet's 490-110-C202 has an S-shape hole, though both are two-blade 42-inch sets. Match your old blades' part number and hole.[1][2]
How many blades come with Toro's 79016P?
Toro's page is inconsistent: the title says 3-pack and the text says the blade is sold individually. Confirm the count on the listing before you order for a three-blade deck.[3]
Will the Craftsman set fit my Husqvarna?
Only if your old blades are 532138971, 532138498, 532127843 or 127843; Craftsman lists the set by those numbers, not by mower model.[1]
