1993 MTD blades for 46 inch deck

[JayBo]

Good morning, hoping somebody here might be able to lend me some insight. I'm looking to replace blades on my 93 18/46. 942-0543 and 0542 is what's called out on PartsTree (for 96 and older mowers). However, I've found some pretty good deals on Amazon for a set of 0611 and 0612 (97 and newer). I know the blades look a little different. The middle blade is 3/32 longer on the Amazon set, and the outer's are the same dimension. Both 6 point star hub.

Can I use the 97 and newer blades on my old deck?
Thanks in advance!
Jason

Check theblade lenghts very carefully.
The longer middle is highly likely to strike the other two when it is running.
