Howse Blade Castle Nut

[cnsJohn]

I've got a Howse 601S (6' cutter). I'd like to change the blades but want to know in advance the size of the castle nut on the blade bolt, so I'll have the right tools going in.

Does anyone know the nut size? 1.5"? 1.75"?

Thank you in advance for your advise.

My Howse 6' is pretty old, don't know the model # but the blade bolt nuts take a 1 11/16" socket. The center nut that holds stumpjumper to the output shaft takes a 1 1/2". Hope this helps.

Thank you for the quick reply. Guess I'll need to buy a few different impact sockets (trying to avoid that), at least a 1 1/2" and the 1 11/16".
