a large c-clamp on the side of the mower deck, will keep the blade from moving, once the blade is up against it.

Mike this is a really good simple honest tutorial and no added stuff that confuses people. Although I did like your comments at the end about the misery of the job! I already had my mower on a divided ramp to get access because my blades were wrenched down so tight! So, I found your video to make sure there was not something I was missing because they were on so tight. Finally, I had to actually use a piece of plastic pipe to extend the moment-arm (increase torque) of the box-end 15/16 wrench. Even had to use both legs / feet to push on the extended wrench to loosen the last one that was on even tighter than the other two! It was a job to keep the blade blocked with a small 2x4 piece while I positioned myself under the mower, and assured it would not slide off the ramp from my pushing the wrench/pipe extender with my legs! I am alive to post this thank you for the assurance that I was not missing anything, especially the difficulty of this task! Keep up the great tutorials. I will keep a tab on them for other things.

Wow that sounds like a battle. Do yourself a favor and go get a cheapo battery powered impact wrench with some sockets so you don’t hurt yourself. Or atleast get a metal pipe for a breaker bar!

I had a friend replace my blades last time, since I have a spinal condition that limits what I can do. Was feeling good so I did it myself this time and replaced them, putting them on exactly how he did. It wasn't mowing great and still isn't, so I looked this video up. I put them on backwards lol. My man card is on probation for now lol.

Super straightforward and easy to follow, thanks! Just did the blades on our D105. Not the easiest job, not the hardest either. Pro tip - if you are smol, like me or don't have a breaker bar, slide a piece of pipe over the socket wrench - gave me the extra leverage needed to get the nut off and tightened again.

I never had any luck with mulching blades they always gum up, I just use the flat ones and shoot the grass out the grass chute.

I usually lift one of the rear wheels (Just grunt and lift) and put a block under it. That gives me enough height to easily reach the blade bolt on that side. Make sure to chock the wheel on the other side and set the parking brake. If you drill a 1/2" hole in the top of the deck a couple of inches in from the tip of the blade sweep you cal put a bar in from the top to hold the blade from rotating while you loosen the blade bolt.

It might be good to mention that if you plan to buy new blades know what you need. For instance, the John Deere blade has a 7 point star pattern where others may have a 6 point star pattern and others may just have a small hole on each side of the mounting hole. If unsure, take your blade off and look at it first. Or, take it with you when you go to purchase the new blades.

Ай бұрын

Yep I agree good advice

I had a hard time trying to get the blades off of a John Deere 125 Automatic (Twin cylinder) with a 12" long 3/4" box wrench. I didn't want to take the deck off. I needed to jam the blades stuck, so the blades wouldn't turn while I tried to unscrew the blade's nut. On the grass discharge side, I put a 2"x4" through the discharge hole and that worked well enough. I then smacked the 3/4" wrench end with a mini-sledge and it came loose. On the other side, I could not figure out how to jam the blade to keep it from turning. I tried a couple things like jamming a wrench between the deck and the blade, but it wouldn't catch enough. By some luck, I noticed a hole was drilled in the top of that side of the deck. I brought various phillips screwdrivers and I found one that fit the hole reasonably well. That allowed me to smack the wrench with the mini-sledge and loosen the nut. For both sides, I lifted the deck and put two brick thicknesses under it. That gave me enough clearance to work. I tried PB Blaster on the second nut, but I'm not convinced it helped.

@MowerMike

I just mowed for the first time this year and after I finished washing it out I ran the mower blades to air dry the under side of the deck and I heard a loud whirring noise like metal rubbing on metal.

It was sitting in the garage with the thrower attachment on when we viewed the house so I figured I was going to need it and asked to have it thrown in when I made my offer, which it was. It has a 20 hp Kohler and a 48 inch deck, so not any bigger than most garden tractors, but laid out differently. Everything is horizontal and shaft drive except the belt that connects the three blades together on the deck. For the extra 3 times as much money, not only do you get orange paint, but also some sweet but unnecessary features like 4 wheel drive, power steering, shaft drive, and a hydraulic for the deck and thrower. Because of the hydraulic, the deck comes on and off super easy. It can set the deck right on the ground and pick it up from there too. The thrower not so much, because it is sooo heavy and you have to lift it. It is a 2 man job. But for my money you save a lot (over 50%) and get the same functionality going with a Cadet or a Deer and a separate walk behind thrower. That is what most of the folks around here run. It is what I would have got too if the Kubota wasn't sitting in the garage and the owner wasn't willing to throw it in with the house. If you painted the Kubota yellow and parked it beside a Cadet most people couldn't tell the difference.

You must have seen something I missed

Mahalo from Kauai plain and simple

You are welcome. I had to google where Kauai was, looks like there is a lot of vegetation to mow! Haha keep that deck clean

Medium size breaker bar with a socket would have been easier, I think. Otherwise, good video. Thanks!

Yeppers I agree

Looks like clockwise to loosen counterclockwise to tighten

Glad you asked. I watched this video just to figure that out.

I have a question that may seem strange, but I have a reason. I hired someone to do an annual check up on my lawnmower, a John Deere X350 . I’ve decided I don’t trust said person. No receipts no job description.. do blades come painted? My blades are stainless steel looking and they have rust on them and it was just done towards the end of February. I have used my mower twice since. There are no stickers on the blade or anything. Blades are expensive.

Haha wow you are a sticker. If you have mowed with them common sense says some of that paint got worn off. X350 is one sweet ride

Might want to try a blade lock, about 10 or 15 bucks, removes 95% of the hassle
