I almost messed this one up! Wrenching on the Batwing..oopsy!
What happens here
Wear nitrile gloves to protect your hands from grease and potential cuts. Using a 3/4 inch ratcheting wrench, loosen the bolt that secures the blade's pin and retainer. Once the bolt is sufficiently loose, remove it along with the retainer. The pin should then slide out, allowing the old blade to be detached from its mounting point. Repeat this process for all blades needing replacement.
Goal: Detach all worn blades from the mower deck
