JD Brush Hog: Can’t access bolt to take blades off.

I've only sharpened blades once. That was many years ago. I cut a lot of brush, and with brush you want to shatter it (to weaken it- the idea is to reduce it's ability to grow back). The cut I get on grass, all things considered, is actually quite impressive.

IF you MUST sharpen then roll the cutter up against a tree (or support it raised) and braced and do that work (angle grinder).

The stump jumper on my 6-footer readily weighs more than I'm going to lift*: there's not only being able to lift, but being able to position it (as the blades want to swing all about). Couple years ago I had to deal with a detached stump jumper (actually had one fly out from under the mower!); flipped the cutter over and used the loader to hoist the stump jumper back on.

*I went out and rescued the stump jumper with my UTV (it was lost in the brush and I opted to take the tractor back home and fetch my wife and dog to help find the stupid thing). I towed/drug (ha ha, using the dog's leash) the detached stump jumper home behind the UTV- I wasn't going to try and lift it up into the bed of the UTV.
