Z-Force 44 blades

I just purchased a set of blades from a Cub dealer. The new set is similar, but a little different them the originals. The dealer sold me Part No. 759-3939 and the manual parts list shows Part No. 01008616. I'm wondering if the original blades are high lift and the replacements standard? Or if the new ones are a replacement?

Do they look as heavy as the 01008616 blades? Those 01008616 blades are as thick as the Cub Commercial blades, I don't have a set of 3939 blades here to compare. I would want the 01008616 blades if it were my machine.

Thanks for the initial reply Gamble77. The box with the new set of blades has Part No. 759-3939 on it and the blades have Part No. 742-3036 stamped on them. I can't see a number on the original blades and was unable to get them off to look closer. They originals do look beefier and are ~15.5 inches long and the replacements are ~16 inches long. After searching further, it looks like Part No. 742-3036 is superseded by 759-3939.

It did sharpen the blades while under the mower.
