Is it worth Fixing? Tough Tractor Repairs
What happens here
Begin by loosening and removing the bolts from the guards that hold the cutter bar in place. The presenter uses a DeWalt impact driver with a 13mm socket to quickly remove these nuts. It's crucial to organize the removed guards and bolts in the order they were taken off, ideally by laying them out sequentially on a clean surface. This method helps tremendously during reassembly to ensure all parts are returned to their correct positions. The presenter demonstrates removing a few guards and placing them in order on a table next to the mower.
Goal: Remove all guards to access the cutter bar
