Blade Installation
Before beginning installation, place the tractor on a firm and level surface, set the parking
brake, place the PTO in the disengaged (OFF) position, stop the tractor's motor and remove
the ignition key to prevent unintended starting.
Cutting blades are sharp. Always protect hands by wearing heavy leather work gloves to
grasp blades.
1. Remove the cutting deck
from beneath the tractor as
instructed in your tractor's
Operator's Manual.
2. Gently flip the deck over to
expose its underside.
3. Stabilize one of the cutting
blades with a blade lock tool or a
block of wood. See Figure 2.
4. Remove the hex flange nut that
secures the blade to the spindle.
IMPORTANT! The hex flange nuts have a right-handed (normal) thread pattern. DO NOT
attempt to force the nuts in the opposite direction. Doing so may damage the nuts.
