What happens here

The first step involves maneuvering the Ryobi electric riding lawn mower out of the garage. Then, the mower deck is detached from the mower by lowering it to its lowest setting, removing pins and clips that secure it, and sliding it out from under the mower. Once the deck is separate, the dull lawn mower blades are removed from the deck using a wrench to loosen their retaining bolts.

Goal: Separate the mower deck and remove the dull blades for sharpening

Tools and materials

  • Dull Lawn Mower Blades — The cutting components that are to be removed and sharpened
  • Pins/Clips — Securing the mower deck to the main body of the mower (original mower parts)
  • Ryobi Electric Riding Lawn Mower Ryobi — The vehicle providing power for mowing, from which the deck is detached
  • Work Gloves — Protecting hands from sharp edges and dirt
  • Wrench — Loosening and tightening the bolts that secure the lawn mower blades

What they say

Apparently, you need to do this way more often than I thought. First, drop that, that, cable, cable. Now, I should be able to just simply drag this out, but we all know how things go. This quick 30-second process give me the most annoying 4 hours of a project that's going to take me 7 days to finish. Welcome to Jackass. Psych, I'm him. All right, let's flip this thing over. Next, we just need to remove the blades. Nothing happens. The internet's not [snorts] real. Grandpappy told my pappy back in my day, son, a man had to answer for the wicked that he's done. Take all the rope in Texas, find a tall oak tree, round up all them bad boys, hang them high in the street. Shout out to Toby Keith. We got all the lawnmower blades off. Let me show you how to sharpen them and why.
