Yard Machines Change Blades | How To Change Blades On Riding Mower | Change Mower Blades 

Pro tip: just use a jack to lift up the mower. You dont need to drop the deck. DONT use a friggin pipe wrench, use a socket with breaker bar, better yet use an impact gun, should take you approximately 30 seconds to do this.

"Someone just drove it into the ground." One of the rare times that this statement could be taken literally.

I have a yardmaster and this will come in handy. Thank you for posting this!

Doing my lawn and one blade came off, as I made a lap there it was laying in the lawn. Gonna finish as dark and rain are coming. Hopefully I can take care tomorrow. Thanks for the informational video. 👍

Excellent. I'm good with this type of mechanical stuff, it's actual engine repair that my knowledge runs short :)

Thanks for the video, you sir are a true hero!

Nice video 👌 would have liked to see you clean that deck before putting on new blades,perfect time would have been when old blades were removed

While I appreciate you showing the step's involved in dropping the deck & this video may help in the future if I ever have to, let me begin by stating there's no reason to drop the deck if all you're doing is changing the blades, or taking them off to sharpen as I did a earlier today. Honestly had to check the video date to see if it was an April fools joke. My mower is an MTD 38 inch cut. For anyone wondering about socket size, it's 15\16th's Just jack it up until you have enough clearance, use axle stands or proper blocks to ensure it can't fall off the jack, don't rely on jack alone. Key in off position, belt tension lever in idle position (almost impossible for engine to accidently start if blades can free wheel) Take off plug wires if you're still concerned about accidental start. Climb underneath & undo the bolts, a clamp to block the blades from turning as you used is recommended. An impact will have the blades of in less than 5 seconds Please don't use a pipe wrench on nut's or bolts unless you plan on replacing them with new ones. P.S. you had a prime opportunity to clean the inside of the deck while the blades were off. Part of mower maintenance is clean the grass buildup inside the deck. Easiest to do if you hose it out after every use. Never get's a chance to build up that way & only takes a few minutes.

Thanks,never hurts to use a little anti-seize on the threads

Thanks for the video, my blades seized up because I don't use it enough, so I will take deck off like you and try to get the bushings apart. will probably grind the blades a little with a hand grinder.

What size socket would you recommend 13/16 is the biggest I have and it's too small.

Where does that spring go to?

PRO TIP: Be sure to turn the mower OFF before trying to remove the blades. That's some helpful advice I received from my good friend Jimmy "Handless Jim" Johnson.

i bought some replacement blades and the arch in the middle of the blade was inverted. Does that make a difference. clockwise turn. cub cadet rzt zero turn 46"

@12:36 you attach the spring. WHERE DO YOU ATTACH IT?!

Sure would like to know the size of the nut - I have a 38 in yard machine. 7/8 in socket is too small.

2001 MTD Yard Machine 42" Deck. What blades do I need?

What is the part number for the bolts please

What size is the nut that holds the blade

Got everything off but the blades, they are so rusted on there that I could have a elephant sit on the end of my wrench and it still won't come loose, heat and Penetrating did nothing against those damn bolts, im now fully convinced that those bolts and blades are one in the same

FIRST THING !!!!!!! PULL THE SPARKPLUG WIRE OFF OF SPARKPLUG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't go by this video. Bad demonstration

pipe wrench no way get socket wrench breaker bar u ruined nut

thats a split pin not a cotter pin
