Fire season is here-time for serious mowing with the hog

Apply Fluid Film, or similar, when you reassemble and your problems will be reduced significantly

I've been using a bit of motor oil when I reassemble and both the nuts and bolts come off with no problem.

Do you have a big pneumatic impact wrench. That is what I use. Makes blade removal pretty easy.

When I was a kid we used to take the blades to our local blacksmith for truing up the cutting edges. The new blade won't take the heat and beat method.

Like the removable plate.

Have an impact wrench. Still like the removable plate--don't have to work under the mower at all using that method. Safety first, last and always :thumbsup:

Same here. My grandfather was a blacksmith. As a lad I helped (actually mostly watched) him in his shop working on all kinds of implements.
