How to Sharpen Brush Hog Blades! Perfectly Balanced and RAZOR SHARP!
What happens here
To remove the first blade, use an impact wrench to loosen and remove the retaining bolt and nut. Once the nut is off, a hammer can be used to gently tap out the retaining pin. On the backside, there's a slip joint and shims. These components are removed and should be kept together in their original order. This process is repeated for the second blade. The creator notes the presence of poly wire debris wrapped around the second blade, indicating a previous impact.
Goal: Remove blades and associated hardware from the brush hog.
