Additional Information

The Craftsman Lawn Tractor 46-in Deck Mulching Blade (part number 942-04268) replaces worn or damaged blades to help maintain consistent mulching performance. Its contoured design helps circulate clippings inside the deck for repeated cutting, producing fine mulch for a tidy finish and natural fertilization.

If your mower leaves behind clumps or struggles to distribute clippings evenly, the blade may be dull or damaged. Replacing it helps restore effective mulching and even mowing results.

Use a socket set and wrench to remove the old blade and secure the new one. Always disconnect the spark plug and wear gloves to prevent injury during installation.
