real cool..but #1 rule..never push a ratchet or wrench..always pull them..saves a bunch of bandaids!

[forku2umf]

Your bolts shouldn't back out if you use new lockwashers. If you have a vibration that bad, your blades are out of balance and/or your belt(s) have a burned spot in them from a pulley spinning on the stationary belt. That will make a tremendous vibration. Shouldn't vibrate at all if everything is set up right. Good video. Mr. Golfcarttractor need to watch you. He has "repair" videos that are inane. "Fixed" an engine and it wouldn't start. Pulled the rope 7 times and gave up. Mine start 1st. pull

I would recommend that y'all use gloves next time!! Great video!

Thanks for your help, you save me some time and a few band-ades!

Great to see a Lady doing this type of machanics ,However don`t you think that antiseize on the threading would benefit removing next time .

[outdoordistributors]

@MrMrtiki I have tried that, and had the bolts back out on their own from vibration. I have had pretty good luck using an impact gun to remove them, but you will want to put fresh bolts back in.

[MrMrtiki]

@outdoordistributors Actually conical or stover nuts will work great with anti seize . but your right too new ones are nice.

Loved the wonderwoman music during the fast forward. Not sure how she tightened the flange nut without the blade on. I saturated both sides of the flange bolts with PBblaster overnight and they still broke.

Hey Codi,

You should wear some stretchy work gloves sweety; they keep your hands clean and protected. Nice job on that repair, you made it look easy.

i assembled my jack shaft ha ha lol that was to funny and gotta love her for breaking all those bolts to great vid

[umajunkcollector]

I got a kick out of the rightie-tightie, lefty-loosey grafics! The guy that fixes mowers in town is fugly, If they had her working there, most guys would break their mowers on purpose all the time, great for business!

not on the older deck.......replace the whole darn assembly,especially if some moron welded the blade to the spindle ,when he broke mount bolts off in housing......use PB Blaster on those bolts so they won`t break off......fyi

[lisainmilo]

@jeepers2655 I used PB blaster...still broke

[barnettboys13]
