These blades will do a respectable job on all three options. It should be noted, however, as with most blades, the mulching function leaves a lot to be desired.

Seem to work fine for all 3 for us. The only thing we noticed was that the blades weren't sharp when we got them.

I purchased this bagging unit about a month ago. My mower appears to be the as your. So the bag should work.The unit works very well.

My mower is a HuyTH22V42 and it works very good on my mower. It installed real easy and does a great job. As far as your mower I don't know. When I purchased the bagger I goggled a bag for my specific mower and I got my info.

You just have to check for the exact blade on all pages that offer triple mulching bladesa,zoom the picture and i think you will find the blade you are looking for. Hawe a nice day.

I run with the mulch kit in all the time works well just replace the blades when needed likes sharp blades this blade works with that mulching kit just fine you will notice it when you back up how well it keeps it in the air to cut the grass into smaller pieces I have an extra pair of blades to change out and take my time to sharpen the takeoff blades so ready to go the right a way when blade change needed

I've used gator blades on my other 46" mower for years and have had excellent results. My mowing is not always nice, grassed yards but sometimes rougher fields and pastures and the gator blades are the only ones that will hold up. And no bagging only mulching.

From looking at the Blade picture for your mower, I would say it will fit with the proper bushing choice. This blade is great for bagging, but only so so for mulching.

I never experienced this issues in the 4 years I've owned this mower. That said, a couple of things to consider: The grass cutting height might be set too low and the blade may be coming in contact with the ground at times, especially if you have irregular or hilly terrain; you might be waiting too long to empty the bag and the cuttings are backing up and clogging things up in under side of the mower; make sure there is no dried up grass stuck to the underside of the mower, especially if you used it to cut wet grass; FYI, the blade that comes with the mower is a mulching blade. It can be used for bagging but a blade specifically designed for bagging will be much more efficient. If you switch to a bagging blade, I recommend you pay a little extra and get a Snapper replacement part rather than a generic replacement blade, as it will make the mower bag better. Lastly, you may want to try mulching instead of bagging. I bagged for years and years before trying mulching. Once you try it you won't want to go back to dealing with all those bags and the extra time and effort it takes. Just don't let the grass get too high between cuttings when mulching. A last tip, keep whatever blade you use sharp. I have a half acre lot and get my blade sharpened three times a season. It makes a big difference in keeping your lawn healthy and looting good. Hope there is something here useful to you. Good luck!

are you looking for a regular blade or a mulching blade? I purchased a "mulching" blade from amazon but was sent a "regular" blade. No one at amazon knew the difference so I had to return it to Amazon and find a Husqvarna retailer. It took from July until October to get it all straight. Sorry but I would not order this type of product from Amazon.

I'm not really sure what you're asking. Are you wanting extras? You may have to get another belt. You need to make sure that the belt that it comes with is the correct one. This mower for some reason can take two different belts.

I received two with my order for a 42" Craftsman mowing deck. I've used them for two seasons and they work GREAT. I use them with and without my bagger, both uses are giving excellent results. I mow between 2.5" and 3" and have not noticed a difference in the result. Best blade I've found for my machine.

You will need to look closely at the postings. They have many different blades in many different depths/lengths. For example the standard blade most often used (to shave a dog, or if you just want a "Military Look") is the #10 blade that cuts to 1.5mm (1/16"). I use it on my dogs but wanted a bit more length for my own hair, so 5FC cuts to 6.3mm (1/4") and 4FC cuts to 9.5 mm (3/8") length. The info is in all the ones I looked at so far, but you do have to look around some and enlarging the picture can help because its printed on the actual blades in mm's the English conversions can take a bit more work ;-) You will need to look closely at the postings.

Hello Catherine, pretty much what you see is what you get. What it is, is a two piece flat metal that attaches to the front of the mower deck. There are four pieces 2 for a 42 inch deck and two for a 38 inch deck. A plastic cover is included to cover the grass outlet on the side of the mower. This item works fairly well, it does chop up the grass but not completely. I had to mow over the windrow a second time to chop up and spread out the clippings. I haven't found a mulch kit yet that lets you cut it once and forget it. As mulch kits go this one works well for the money. All bolts and nuts are included. I did need to take the deck off of the mower to attach the two chopping blades though. Hello Catherine, pretty much what you see is what you get.

I used my CMM1000 to shred leaves this year. Raked them into 4" to 6" high piles, went over the piles with the mower with collection bag attached. Then raked 4" to 6" high piles again, and mowed over them a second time. Any leaves remaining after two passes were raked up the old-fashioned way :-)The bag fills up fairly quickly, so I had my wheelbarrow nearby and just kept dumping the shredded leaves from the bag into it. Had to keep making sure the chute between the blade and the collection bag was kept clear of debris too.I thought it worked pretty well. How did things work out for you?Regards,Mark Widmer (New Jersey, USA) I used my CMM1000 to shred leaves this year.

I had to call the manufacturer to get the correct blades. Organ company makes them. A link can be found on amazon. My book said it was a three blade system. It was actually two. I need to order them for my John Deere now.

Yes they will fit, I had a JD 42" deck also. However, I purchased these blades and had bad luck with them.. they would leave a long row of cut grass in the middle of the deck behind the mower.. I had to go over the lawn two to three times. I took off the Gator blades, put on JD Mulching blades and had no problems after that. The Gator's look mean, but only the front edge seems to cut as the rear fins don't do much. Buy the better JD Mulching blades and don't forget to put your mulching plug in to really do a good job. Good luck!

There are 2 different mounting plates for the same set of bags. I had to get buy the other bracket ($50).Or get the bagger that ends with instead of "G", H346SL. One has 2 hooks that go into slots in the back-plate of the mower. The other wraps around the back-plate and a bolt on each side.
