How do I replace rotary cutter blades?

[Gary Fowler]

The bolt may stay in the square retainer hole in the stump jumper or it may not. If I had to replace them by myself, I would take my FEL and turn the cutter on its edge so I could put the blade on and insert the bolt then get to the other side and install the nut. Depending on the bolt to hold itself and the blade up might get aggravating after it falls off a few times.

After hearing all the horror stories on TBN about loosening the bolts to get the blades off I sprayed PB Blaster on the nuts once a day for about a week.

Got a breaker bar and pipe and they came right off. I lifted my RC up set it on stands and had 6x6 wood blocks under it for added safety.

I had my father there also to help and more importantly to not be alone while working on it.
