County line finishing mower question

[LAdude]

I have a fairly new 6ft Countyline finishing mower and am having a heck of a time removing the bolts that hold on the blades. Does anyone that has one know if they are reverse threaded? They are tough either way I try to turn them.

My KK finish mower are left hand threaded bolts on the blades. does it say in the owners manual ?

I scanned through it and didn't see anything. I'll try righty loosey, now that I've tightened them up real good.

Found a King Kutter manual online, and it does indeed say left handed (reverse) thread. So anyway, I finally got them off and sharpened. Lesson learned. Along with all those warning stickers on the mower deck, another one informing you of the reverse threads would have been nice. Thanks for the reply Bladehauler.

Just an added thought...
I used to struggle with my RFM blades removing them...
I purchased a very nice impact wrench...
It works really well...
I got tired of using a pipe and wrench...

Yep, I was contemplating that very thing until that lightbulb came on in my brain. An impact wrench would still be a good thing to have.
