SERVICING THE MOWER BLADES
Service Interval: Every 100 Hours or As Required
1. Remove mower from the tractor. See Mower
Installation & Removal.
2. Blades should be sharp and free of nicks and dents.
If not, sharpen blades as described in following steps.
3. To remove blade for sharpening, use a wood block to
hold blade while removing the blade mounting cap-
screw (Figure 23).
4. Use a file to sharpen blade to a fine edge. Remove all
nicks and dents in the blade edge. If the blade is
severely damaged, it should be replaced.
5. Balance the blade as shown in Figure 24. Center the
blade’s hole on a nail lubricated with a drop of oil. A
balanced blade will remain level.

spring washer and hex washer (be certain the hex
washer is aligned with the hex shaft). Use a wooden
block to prevent blade rotation and torque capscrews
to 61-75 N.m.
For your personal safety, do not handle the sharp
mower blades with bare hands. Careless or improper
handling of blades may result in serious injury.
WARNING

must each be installed with a hex washer and spring
washer, then securely tightened.Torque blade
