mower bolts turn?

<font color="blue"> I always use the rule of thumb that if it discharges on the left hand side it is left hand thread and if it discharges to the right side, it is right hand thread. </font>

Tom I'll bet you are correct. Our deck discharges on the left side and it does have left hand thread blade bolts.

Yes , Bird.
I used to have a Woods RM500 finish mower that discharged on the left-hand side, it had left hand threads on the bolts.

All My other mowers discharge to the right and they have right - hand threads on the blade bol /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gifts.

Thanks Tom, That makes alot of sense and beats my method. I have always tried RH first and then LH, Not the best method for keeping bolt heads in good shape.
