Kubota Mower Revival: DIY Repair and Maintenance Tips
What happens here
After successfully extracting the broken bolt, inspect the threads inside the spindle for any damage. The creator attempts to hand-thread a socket into the spindle, indicating he is trying to clean or re-tap the threads to ensure a new bolt will fit correctly and securely. He mentions needing to 'play with that one', suggesting potential thread repair is needed before installing new hardware. Then, acquire a new bolt, washers, and a nut that match the original specifications of the mower blade assembly. The creator uses a replacement nut from a 'backup Kubota' which implies he has suitable spare parts.
Goal: Ensure spindle threads are clean and acquire replacement parts
