Because sometimes you need to remove the whole deck for removing and replacing the blades. Basically I recommend you use a hydraulic jack to raise the mower. Now raise the lawnmower deck into its highest position. Step #2: Use Hydraulic Jack To Lift The Mower Remove the mower spark plug and turn the ignition switch off. Take your lawnmower into an even surface and engage the mower parking blade. Steps to follow: Step #1: Prepare The Lawn Mower For Removing Blades Follow the step by step guideline to remove the blade in an easier way. Let’s have a look at the tools that you need to use for removing the blades. It approximately takes 20-30 minutes to complete the whole task.īefore removing the blades, you need to manage some tools that will make the task convenient for you. Because the removal process is simple and you can do this by yourself.

It was amazing it could have stretched and distorted the threads so much while in place-never seen it to such a degree before in 60-something years.If you want to remove the John Deere riding lawnmower blades then basically you don’t need to be worried about the task.

They're hardened, but I was really beginning to wonder before this one came out finally. In that case, you might consider taking it to the JD dealer simply to put the onus on them if twist one off. _IF_ (the proverbial big if) you have a good-size knick in the knives, that'd be a clue-I didn't recall hitting anything I thought was significant enough to have caused the problem but w/ that larger mower, sometimes you don't realize what you've gone over in heavy brush. As somebody else said, go to a six-point socket to minimize the likelihood of rounding them over 'cause if you do, you're toast. If it is this problem, the only real solution is bigger wrench. When it cools after a heat cycle it may help some. Heat/cool can help on this heat alone only makes this problem worse because it's a mechanical distortion problem and swelling the bolt by heating it only tightens it even further. Managed that w/ the outside blade on theħ2" deck last year took about a 4-ft cheater and initially bent a 1/2" small pry bar had used as the lock through the drive sprocket to hold it. It's possible you've stretched the bolts which has the effect of locking them in there like the blazes.
