What's the best solution for this repair. What happened was I have a 3pt mower with 3 blades hit a rock with the one blade so took it off. It came off very hard with a socket and breaker bar. Went to re-attach the nut to the spindle and got 1 and a half turns in and it was turning hard so took it back off. Ended up mushroomed the first two threads on the spindle and the nut is done for.
There is lots of thread on the spindle so I was wondering do I just cut off the ruined thread and get a new nut or try and rethread the end of the spindle?
Thanks for any input. I had started the nut by hand so I thought I was good... obviously not.
