How do you change and sharpen riding lawn mower blades?



On a riding mower you will need to safely lift and support the rider somehow so that it can't slip or fall. I have a rope lift I use in the garage but a sturdy tree limb would also work fine. You might be able to elevate one side so that it tilts right or left but do not trust a hydraulic jack to hold it up. Use a tool or a block of wood to prevent the blade from turning. There is a large nut or bolt you must loosen on each blade. Turn it the opposite direction the hands on a clock turn. There should also be a lock washer that prevents the nut from loosening. Save and reuse it. Pay carefull attention to any flat washers that are also fastened with the blade. My older mower has two washers above the blade and one below. Those affect the height of the cut and in some cases must be in that position in order to hold the blade in place.

If you don't have a grinder you can sharpen the blade with a file. It might take awhile but it will work. You can use any bolt or plastic pen as a balance tester. Place the bolt through the hole on the blade and hold it straight out in front of you as if you were pointing the bolt at something in front of you. See if the blade remains fairly level. If one side dips down, it is heavy. Remove some more metal from the low side and retest the balance until it sits fairly level.

While you have the blade off, it would be a good time to clean out the mower deck. Look for grass deposits, wire, string ....anything that will catch grass and slow down the grass from being spun out of the mower.

Replace the blade with the original washers and tighten the nut or bolt using something to prevent the blade from turning. Turn the wrench the same way as the hands on a clock to tighten.

Remember, when it comes to nuts and bolts,
right is tight,
left is loose...

Most likely the mower deck will have to be removed. There should be a diagram on the mower deck showing the proper path for the belt or your owner's manual should show it also.

my riding lawn mower loses power and nearly cuts off when I engage the blades?

We changed the spark plug and fuel filter, cleaned the air filter, and checked for obstacles in the belt that engages the blades. The battery was replaced last summer.


are you at full idle? If so chck to see the pulleys are not worn out and need to be replaced. Take the drive belt off and move each pulley by hand they should move freely. Other that that it would most likely be carb, timing or ignition

What’s best will depend on your wants and needs. Gas-powered rotary lawn mowers can be divided into two categories: walk-behind rotary mowers and riding mowers lawn tractors.

The walk-behind rotary lawn mowers can further be classified according to whether they’re push-type lawn mowers or self-propelled. Purchase price varies greatly between these types of rotary lawn mowers, with riding mowers / lawn tractors being the most expensive, followed by self-propelled mowers. The push-type mowers are the least expensive because they require you to provide the muscle to make them move.

Self-propelled rotary lawn mowers require the operator to squeeze a bar to engage the mower, which causes the machine to take off — all you have to do is control the direction in which it goes. If you release your grip on the bar, the mower blade stops spinning.
