Message: <blockquote data-quote="sgalante" data-source="post: 29145" data-attributes="member: 8546">I have removed the mower blades on my 50C deck probably 50 times in the past.  Today I tried to remove the blades to sharpen them.  I used my normal method of using a 2x4 to prevent each blade I was removing to prevent it from spinning.  When I got to the last blade (an outer blade, not the center one) I couldn't seem to get the nut off.  The threaded spindle is turning with the nut.  I tried using some penetrating oil to try to loosen it and even tried heat with my propane torch.  Nothing seems to allow me to loosen it.  I am currently trying to let penetrating oil sit over night. If that doesn't work, I was wondering if there is another trick to try?  I thought that maybe, it might work if I try to loosen it while having a wrench on the nut under the top cover.  Kind of hard to do by myself since I don't have a way to currently suspend the deck upright.  Before I break anything, if the penetrating oil doesn't work, is my thought process of holding the #10 (in the picture) nut under the cover while I attempt to loosen the #2 nut (in the picture) a viable solution.  As always, Thank you in advance.      [ATTACH=full]20552[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
