Product Information

Almost all lawnmowers will come with specifications on how tight a blade bolt must be.That being said, most blade bolts are over-tightened. If you own an impact wrench of just about any type, your fight will likely be a short one. Provided that the bolt is not stripped, that is. Simply slap on the right-sized adapter, and you’re good to go.

Along with any of the above options, you can also use a blow torch to heat up the bolt, which will help a great deal to get it to loosen up.A dulled lawn mower blade can cause a range of issues in your garden, even putting your grass at risk of disease. It’s essential then to ensure the consistent upkeep of your lawn mower, sharpening its blade regularly. In this guide from Sims Garden Machinery, we’ll take a look through the reasons you need to sharpen a lawn mower, the frequency with which you should look to sharpen, and the techniques for sharpening the blades of various lawn mower designs. This can help you to maintain an effective lawn mower, and a clean, healthy garden. Why Do You Need to Sharpen Your Lawn Mower Blades? You’ll have to turn your rotary mower onto its side to access the blade. While this won’t be an issue in an electric model, in petrol models you will have to be a bit more careful. Before tipping your mower, determine the location of the fuel tank (or gas tank for Americans), tipping the lawn mower at such an angle that the fuel tank faces up. This will reduce the risk of fuel spilling onto the rest of the mower.

If the blade bolt is too stripped and refuses to budge with the chisel, your last option is to weld an additional bolt onto it. This bolt will give you a non-stripped head where you can get a grip. An easy way to search for the right part for your Parkside Brush Cutter, Chainsaw, Garden Vac, Hedgetrimmer, Lawn Scarifier, Lawnmower, Lopper, Multi-Tool, Pole Pruner, Shredder, or Trimmer, is to enter the model number of your machine, or the part number of the part you wish to replace, into our search box. Replacing the blade on your lawnmower is a fantastic way to make your mower cut like a new machine. Knowing this, you’ve gone out to buy a new blade, and you’re excited to see the difference on your lawn. But, unfortunately, you have to win the war against the blade bolt first to get the old blade off.Before you even get to the actual task at hand, there are two essential steps you need to take to protect yourself as well as your lawnmower from unintentional damage.The final step will just make the process a little easier. 1. Disconnect The Spark Plug Hold the chisel in place and tap it with the hammer to dig into the bolt and, if successful, loosen it. Option 6: Weld An Additional Bolt

Remove the blade. You’ll need to use a long-handled wrench or a spanner to loosen the blade. Depending on the model of your lawn mower, the method may be slightly different. It can be a good idea to leave a mark on the underside of the blade, using tape or a permanent marker, to ensure you re-install it the correct way round. However, I advise that you care for your lawnmower in such a way that you prevent corrosion around the blade bolt, making it easy to remove the next time you need to swap out the blade. Your lawnmower will likely have a picture on it or stipulate safe ways to tilt it in the manual. However, if you are unsure, just drain the fuel and oil. Draining the fuel and oil before fighting with the bolt frees you to position the mower in the most comfortable and efficient position. 3. Clean The Bolt With the preparation out the way, you are ready to work through the list of options to get the bolt free. Option 1: Use An Impact WrenchThe final thing you want to do before fighting with the bolt is to take a steel-wire brush and get that bolt as clean as possible. An easy way to search for the right part for your lawnmower / mower is to enter the model number of your machine, or part number of the replacement part, in our search box or try our Advanced Search facility. Finally, with your spark plug disconnected and liquids drained, you can go ahead and tilt the mower. The lawnmower blade is connected to the engine via a drive shaft which means that when you turn the blade manually, you are also turning over the engine. However, turn it hard enough and you can actually create enough compression and spark to start the engine, costing you a hand.

Knowing which options you have to remove that stubborn bolt can save you a whole lot of frustration. There are several different types of lawn mower blades, with rotary being the most common. Other options will be for various types of cylindrical mowers, like reel mowers and manual lawn mowers. There will be a slightly different method to sharpen both of these. Always Remove the Spark PlugThere are different schools of thought on how often you should be sharpening lawn mowers blades, but a good rule of thumb is to sharpen them roughly every 25 hours of use. If you are merely maintaining a small lawn every few weeks, then this would mean you won’t need to sharpen your blades very often at all, but those working with larger gardens, or looking to have the perfect lawn may hit that number far more regularly. How Many Times Can You Sharpen Your Lawn Mower Blades? This is an optional step, depending on which way you will tilt your mower to gain access to the blade bold.
