A true L59 has left hand cut blades and left handed threads for the retaining bolts. The 59 Woods has right hand cut blades and right handed threads. I had a 59, that I had trouble running right handed on the CA, so I bought left handed blades and used an impact to tighten the right handed bolts. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

I think mine are right handed. don't know if its an L or not , I do know its a 59 for sure. I tighten and remove them with an air wrench and they never come loose. ---Don't overdue the wrench on getting them tight as the threads will strip rather easily . ------------- http://machinebuildersnetwork.com/ |

| If it's a tan color it's a L 59 and has left hand thread bolts holding the blades on. If it's yellow it a 59 and has right hand thread bolts holding the blades on. |

I don't believe the color has anything to do with the model of the mower. I had a tan colored one that was a 59, right handed mower. The color may date the piece, as Woods used to paint them yellow, then switched to the light off White. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |
