CUTTINg bLADES
Shut the engine off and remove ignition key before removing the
cutting blade(s) for sharpening or replacement. Protect your hands by
using heavy gloves when grasping the blade.
Periodically inspect the blade and/or spindle for cracks or damage,
especially after you've struck a foreign object. Do not operate the
machine until damaged components are replaced.
To remove the blades, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the deck from beneath the tractor, (refer to Cutting Deck
Removal earlier in this section) then gently flip the deck over to
expose its underside.
2. Place a block of wood between the center deck housing baffle
and the cutting blade to act as a stabilizer. See Figure 17.
3. Remove the hex flange nut that secures the blade to the spindle
assembly. See Figure 17.
