Hi! I was out brush-hogging last night, feeling real sorry for the MF135 working its little heart out and decided I was going to have to do something about this situation. At this point, I am mowing with metal stumps, rather than blades, and it is time to replace them - there is no more sharpening potential left. I am surely in the minority on this forum, because I am a "she", so I have to ask for instructions in real plain language :confused2: . I am a farmgirl, though, and I can do my share. I do have a dear, sweet hubby who is big and strong. What we do NOT have going for us is "smarts". I am going to have to plead to get him to agree to this project, and I hope to know what I'm talking about. I have found a couple other threads on this subject, but was confused about things like "putting a bottle jack" next to the bolts. Is it easier to remove and replace blades by tipping the mower up on its side? If not, how do we go about getting the leverage we'll need? I just tried to find labels on what type of mower this is, but the only thing I found was a TSC label that said "IM 500". Without a tape, I am guessing it is a 5' mower. Can anyone out there on Tractor by Net help me out here? If so, I hope you will offer your suggestions! Thank you so much for anything you can tell me! Respectfully, Linda

Oops! I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to pose any questions on this thread! Sorry about that! I will try to find the right place to put it! Toldja what we were lacking was "smarts" .... guess I just proved that, huh? LOL!
