Wrong Cheap HARBOR FREIGHT China Tool.... So I BEAT it with HAMMER!
What happens here
Before installing the new spindle, ensure the mower deck is clear of obstructions. Carefully align the new spindle with the mounting holes on the deck and insert it from below. Secure the spindle by tightening four bolts on the top side of the deck with a wrench. Install the new mower blades by attaching them to the spindle, using a vice grip to hold the spindle steady while tightening the bolts with an impact wrench.
Goal: Replace the damaged spindle and dull blades for efficient mowing.
