Replace Blades and Adjust Deck Height
At 8:15 in
I HIT SOMETHING BIG WITH THE VENTRAC!!
What happens here
Once the damaged blades are removed, install new or freshly sharpened blades, ensuring they are oriented correctly (sharp edge facing the direction of rotation). Use the impact wrench to securely fasten the blade nuts, remembering the reverse thread on the center blade. Next, to adjust the cutting height, loosen the four bolts on each wheel assembly of the mower deck using the impact wrench. Manually lift the wheel assembly to the desired height (e.g., two notches up for 4.5 to 5 inches) and re-tighten the bolts securely. Repeat this process for all wheel assemblies to ensure an even cutting height across the entire deck.
Goal: Install new or sharpened blades, tighten them with the impact wrench, and then adjust the mower deck's cutting height by repositioning the wheel assemblies.
