BLADE REMOVAL
To change blades, it may be best to use a piece
of wood positioned between the blade and
mowing deck to keep the blade from turning. Use
a 15/16" socket and Bad Boy recommends an
impact wrench capable of and output torque of at
least 220 ft-lbs. A box wrench and extension can
be used, though component damage potential
may be increased. The bolt has right-handed
threads.
Re-torque the blade bolts to 90-110 ft-lbs. upon re-
installation.
The blade spindles contain a sealed bearing inside the
top and bottom of the spindle. The bearings are
replaceable for a more cost-effective repair. Factors such
as water introduction into the bearing will have a major
impact on bearing life.
