I almost messed this one up! Wrenching on the Batwing..oopsy!
What happens here
Locate the blades underneath the mower deck. The Woods Batwing mower uses a quick-attach pin system. Each blade is held in place by a pin and a retainer, secured by a 3/4 inch bolt. Observe the current condition of the blades, noting any wear, bends, or damage from striking rocks. For this mower, there are typically two blades per wing, totaling six blades.
Goal: Assess blade damage and understand the quick-attach mechanism
