In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

MaxPower 42 in. Standard Mower Blade Set for Riding Mowers – 2 pk is a purpose-driven replacement kit built to restore power and precision to your 42" deck Craftsman riding mower. With two blades in every package, you’ll have a ready-to-install set that keeps your lawn looking even and well-cut season after season.

Designed for durability and reliable performance, each blade measures 21 inches in length and uses a standard blade profile ready to drop into your mower with minimal downtime.

  • 21 inches per blade
  • fits 42-inch riding mower decks
  • 2 blades per pack
  • 5-point star mounting for secure fit
  • Replaces part numbers 138971, 138498, 127843

Exact fit and broad compatibility are at the heart of this blade set. It’s designed to work with models requiring the following OEM numbers: 127843, 138498, 138971, 138971X431, 532138971, 53-21278-43, 53-21384-98, 53-21389-71, 532 13 84-98, 532 13 89-71. If your Craftsman riding mower uses any of these OEM references, you’re likely to experience a straightforward install and dependable cutting performance.

Why choose this MaxPower blade set? It’s about consistent cutting quality and quick maintenance for riders. The 2-pack format gives you an immediate replacement pair, helping you maintain balance and cutting efficiency—important factors when dealing with uneven grass, thick weeds, or seasonal shifts. The 5-point star hole pattern ensures secure mounting, minimizing vibration and noise while you mow.

Who is this ideal for?

  • Homeowners with Craftsman riding mowers operating a 42" deck who need OEM-replacement blades
  • Mower owners seeking a ready-to-install, dependable two-blade set to minimize downtime
  • People performing routine blade maintenance or replacing worn blades to maintain an even, consistent cut

Practical tips for installation and care

  • Inspect blade edges for nicks and burrs before installing; replace both blades in the set to maintain balance and cutting quality
  • Match the 5-point star hole pattern with your mounting bolts for a secure fit
  • Follow your mower’s safety protocol when servicing blades (disconnect the spark plug cap and wear gloves) before any replacement work
  • Keep blades dry and clean after mowing to extend their life and prevent corrosion

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
