I'm having a heck of a time getting the bolts loose that hold on the blades of a Woods L59 belly mower. Are they reverse or regular thread?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to break them loose without ruining them, such as a torch?
Thanks.

They are left hand, or as you call them reverse threads.

| Most thing like that and grinder and so on loosen in the direction of rotation. |

I had a mower that had stuck nut on the blade, we heated it carfully with a torch and it broke loose. ------------- It is great being a disciple of Jesus! 1950 WD, 1957 D17...retired in Iowa, |

| A six point socket will be your friend. Yes left hand threads. Oh yes and a good impact wrench to put the six point socket on. |

Put a block of wood between the blade tip and the front shield. That is how I do it.

After you get them loose and before re-installing use never seize on the threads.

If it is an L59, that L stands for left handed because the blades turn counter clockwise as you look down on the deck and it will have left handed threads. I do like Dick suggests, a 6 point impact socket and all ya gotta do is bump the trigger a couple times to remove the blade. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

| Dick as usual is right on !! Ive taken of blades with a impact that I thot would never come loose having tried a 1/2 in. flex handle with no luck and then they come right off with the impact. |

| I put a block of wood (4x4), also, and a breaker bar. Fortunately I've never had to pull out the impact tools. And like Ken suggested, some type of anti-sieze is helpful. |

Wouldn't that be kinda hard to do, on a tractor mounted mower?  ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

Miss Mowersden just joined the Forum, then posted. Guess she didn't realize this is the 'Farm Tractor' section. Welcome aboard. |

Milwaukee 1/2” impact gun takes them right off. Left hand threads tend to tighten as the mower is used due to the direction the blade turns. Best tool I have purchased in many years. We run our CA up on ramps to get the necessary clearance to remove. L306 is just a bigger version of the L59. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

"WRONG" The L59 mower deck commonly used on Allis tractors, has left handed threads, and needs to be turn clockwise, to remove. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Tuck is correct  about the "CLOCKWISE" direction to get them off. (The OPPOSITE of normal)Mike, I noticed that because I helped Goose with this WAY BACK. I also noticed that this "Mowersden" was ONLY ON here for 10 minutes and left a link. Is this spam? or is she for real? We'll know the answer if she ever comes back. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |
