I bought a mower/atv jack at Harbor Freight, that was one of the best investments I've made, it makes it really handy to get under it to remove the blades for sharpening or cleaning under the deck. Prices vary but I paid about $100 for mine, it lifts the mower by the front tires, so no stress on the mower.

Your instruction videos are great and always cover lots of the little things that are common problems or potential problems that are just skipped over in other folks videos. Like in this video with the direction of the blades. Seems like everyone should know that, unless you've not done it before and get into the process and when putting them back THEN you say, 'Hey, which way did these things go on'. Always nice work, thanks

Sharpening is a cold process. Its important not to let the grinder wheel sit too long in any one spot. Move left to right lifting the wheel off the blade of the material and then repeat. Its best not to drag it back and forth continuously. If you see the edge of the blade turning blue-black you've lost the temper in the steel and your edge will be soft. I like to do a quick skate over the edge with the grinder, one pass at a time and then do the final dressing with a file. You'll have a sharper blade and it will stay sharper longer.

Thank you Jim, Thanks for this video. Quick summary is that I have a John Deer LT 160 that I bought back in 02 with nearly 700 hrs on it and still runs like a sewing machine. Only gripe is that cheap plastic hood. That Kohler motor is remarkable and so powerful. Tried to order a second hood for it on Amazon and it cost around 400.00. Trying to get it ready for this summer and I am doing same thing that you’re doing with the ramps. The point is that I never thought about the clamps to hold the blades and that is my big Thank You for this information. Bolts are so tight that I could not break them loose with my socket and trying to hold the blade at the same time. 😂 Thanks again, Dale, from TX.

For those who have a 3 blade deck it seems to be faster to take the deck off (at least after you've removed the deck for your first time). On the Accel 48" deck at least the socket you'll need is an 18mm and the recommended torque when re-installing them is 50 ft.-pounds but "good and tight" hasn't seemed to damage anything. Taking the deck off gives you an opportunity to clean the underside without being on your back for effort and if your tractor has some difficult to get to zerk fittings (possibly for pulleys) it's a good time to get those too. Great suggestion on the blade cutting position - I always have to triple check when I re-install blades.

Those blades are sharp! So, after putting a nice edge on the blade (wearing Kevlar or leather gloves) fold a piece of masking tape over the edge. Keeps you safe when they are in storage. You don't have to take it off since it wears off quickly within the first 10 feet or so of mowing.

I use my floor jack to jack up the rear with a 4x4 piece of wood on top of the jack after the front is on a ramp. I also like using the flap disc from Home Depot. I use a nail for balancing b/c it’s smooth. You can use a sharpie to mark the bottom of the blade before removing it. I always wondered if it matters what orientation the blades face when bolted on. Check your manual for the torque spec for the nut.

Good video. (I built the ramps, BTW) If you're working in your garage (especially if it is an attached garage), you might want to edit out that illegal open-flame heat source that you have. No insurance company will cover your home with that installed in any place where you work on gas powered cars, or lawn equipment, and they won't pay in the event of a fire. I just learned about this.

Jim I like your ramps. About your process, I do basically the same except instead of a ratchet & socket I use a battery operated 1/2" impact with 3/4" socket (on my JD X758) and in doing so I don't have to use a block of wood or clamp. It shocks the bolt loose and also I add a little never seize on bolt when putting back on. I find it helps when removing in future. I like using the flap grinder disks like you did as well. Not being critical of your process. Just trying to add another aspect. Thanks.....

You can easily check your balance using a screwdriver as your balance point, works great.

Thanks for the video! Just a couple of suggestions... Mention the size of the socket used to remove the blades also when balancing the blade make sure your head isn,t directly in front of the target field of view.

I used to do this for years until I realized how easy it is to remove the deck. Just remove a couple clips and slide the deck out. Once out it’s so much easier to clean the deck, remove the blades, and grease all the spindles.

Agree I only put it up on my ramps if I only sharpen the blades. Thanks for watching

if you use a impact driver to remove no need for clamp but you would need to make ramps higher. but alot quicker overall

I agree, that is what i normally do but not everyone has a impact driver. Thank you for the comment hope you have a good summer.

Most unique way to do this that I have ever seen! Excellent work on the ramps. Super creative. Im going to checkout your build video. Mine needs sharpening so bad ive been having to hit the grass from both directions just to get it to cut it all. Thank you for helping me.
