    What size socket or wrench do I need on the MX5 to tighten: A. The "Blade Holder Hardware" bolt; and B. The lock nuts on the blade bolts Can you imagine, the owner's manual for the MX5 doesn't say. I don't even know if these things are metric or not.

    MX6 and 3720 and 990

I like everything about this machine, except that the nearest dealer is well over an hour drive from my...
