Troy-bilt 942-0740 Mulch Blade 20 Inch Star Center

Product Description

The TROY-BILT 942-0740 is a mulching blade designed for walk-behind lawn mowers and similar outdoor power equipment. It measures 20 inches in length and features a star-shaped center mounting hole, which is the standard fitment pattern for many Troy-Bilt mower decks. Mulching blades use a curved cutting edge to lift and recirculate grass clippings, cutting them into fine particles that fall back into the lawn. This blade is a direct OEM-style replacement installed by lawn equipment technicians and knowledgeable equipment owners during routine blade maintenance or after impact damage.

This blade is suited for residential lawn mowing applications where mulching capability is desired. The 20-inch blade length and star center configuration make it appropriate for Troy-Bilt walk-behind mower decks built to accept this blade profile. Replacement is typically performed seasonally or whenever the blade shows signs of wear, bending, or dulling that reduces cut quality.

Wear heavy gloves when handling the blade and inspect the spindle and mounting components for wear before installing the replacement.
