Popular Post Tom King Posted May 15, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 With the lifting ring, I set the mower up on the big flat back end with the tractor loader. I back the tractor up a little bit and lower the bucket in place as a safety. That way I can change the blades without even bending over. Clean cardboard keeps from scratching the rear powder coating. I thought to turn the gas valves off, but one cap was not tight, so it leaked a little. Tightening the cap stopped the leak. I probably won't forget that again. I take the blades off with an impact wrench, but put them on with a regular wrench. If I can't run a nut all the way on easily by hand, I run a die on those threads. If the nut still won't run on easily, I toss that nut, and put on a new one. I don't know exactly what happens to the nuts, but I've always had that trouble with any mower blade nuts on any mower. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
