Blade Replacement Procedure
Before beginning, make sure the
tractor is off and the PTO is
disengaged. Disconnect the
driveline from the tractor before
doing any work.
Securely block-up the mower
before any work is done under the
mower when lifted up. This is to
prevent the mower from dropping
due to inadvertent operation of
controls, hydraulic leaking or
failure of any components.
Note: The blades can be replaced without
having to remove the blade pan.
1. Remove the Old Blades
a. For each blade, line up the nut holding
the blade with the socket hole (1) in
the top of the mower deck.
b. From the top of the deck, remove the
blade bolt nut (2) and discard it. (This
nut cannot be reused)
i. The bolt is lobed to prevent it from
turning.
c. Drive out the bolt and the blade will
drop.
d. The blade bolt may be reused if it is
not damaged.
