Hey everyone. I run a small bean farm and use an older riding mower to keep the paths clear between outbuildings, but engines and equipment really aren't my strong suit. Lately, the mower leaves high spots everywhere and vibrates pretty badly whenever I hit thick grass. I crawled underneath and saw the edges of the blades are totally nicked up, pitted, and dull. I was looking around online for lawnmower blades for sale so I can just swap them out, but I wanted to ask how difficult the job actually is. Is it as simple as wedging a block of wood under the deck and unbolting them, or do I need special tools to get the new ones torqued down right? Any beginner advice would be great.

yes, you can block it with wood, then put a wrench on the bolt and SMACK it with a hammer to loosen......... I assume you dont have an air impact with an air compressor.. those work great !!.... same to reinstall..
