Posts like this remind me to put grease or antiseize on bolt shanks... Then getting in a hurry to get it back together and skip that step on everyone.

Anti-seize will keep you or the next guy from cussing when it comes back apart. Makes a world of difference, just have to be prepared to be tin man for a day.

This is what luck looks like. Bolt broke in the joint which sucked but not a major deal in most cases. So I cut/grind the head of the bolt off and take a sawsall to the other side. (Nut welded to bracket ) Get the arm out. Touch the remaining bolt and it moves. :eek: Ended up threading out by hand. :D

Ol hot wrench is a beautiful thing
 
My "help" definitely doesn't make me more efficient.

That vehicle looks to be a mix of a Renegade, Wrangler, and Bronco II. But I'd still eat the whole carton of ice cream.

Looks like a Nissan Cube to me.

It's a lawn mower.....not a stump grinder.

Not around my place. I have more exposed roots than grass. I figure if I hack away at them enough I'll finally get to a point that I won't hit anything. :eek:

Although my blades didn't look quite that bad when I put new ones on a couple of weeks ago.

Mowers aren't my area of expertise, but what are you running that has splined mower blades? Is that a belt drive to a keyed motor shaft?
My JD210 was a heck of a stump grinder, the belts were always the weak link, every two years like clockwork a silent pop was followed by a $50 deck belt replacement.

My old simplicity is just like that.

Actually, My JD X300 is too.

... except my blades don't have chunks out of them ;-)

Spindle bolts to deck.
belt drives spindle pulley.
Spindle drive shaft through double shear roller bearings.
Spindle shaft is star/Splined at end and blade bolts to it.

Thats how ...every mower Ive ever had was

Must be brand-specific or something. I've never had a mower with a splined blade, but I know they're out there.
