Re: What\'s under that rotary cutter?
On my Woods 6' rotary cutter there is a small access cover that permits you to loosen the blades from above. Be prepared! I just bought a 1 3/4" socket and 19" breaker bar. To that I added about 3' of 1" pipe for leverage. My manual specs the blade bolt torque to 450 ft lb!
On a related note, my efforts to sharpen the blades (with a belt sander) seem to be working pretty well.
