I have tried all the things from an old post about getting the blades loose on a Woods L59. My compressor only gets up to 120 lbs and my 1/2 inch impact couldn't brake the bolts loose. Any suggestions

Take a breaker bar and maybe put a pipe handle extension on it. I've had that work if the impact wrench won't. And as said reverse threads. Good luck. ------------- Everything is impossible until someone does it! WD45-trip loader 1947 c w/woods belly mower, 1939 B, #3 sickle mower 1944 B, 2 1948 G's.

Turn the mower on its back, stick a 2x4 under the blade to act as a stop, big breaker bar, as stated, and righty loosey! ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

| Nevermine. I put a jack under my 3/4 break over and added a long cheater pipe and got them loose. I also made a piece of tubing out of angle iron to slide over the blade to lock it again the housing since one of my blades was broken. |

I’ve got 3 Woods mowers. 2 L 306’s and 1 L59. All 3 have left hand spindle threads. I was under the impression that all L series mowers had left hand spindle threads. ------------- It's the color tractor my grandpa had! |

I use my Milwaukee 1/2” impact gun to get them off. I wish they would have put a sticker on the deck notating the rotation of the bolts. ------------- 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 |

I think my L-306 does have a sticker indicating left hand threads. It's been a darn good mower.

If it doesn’t have a sticker just write it on top of the deck with a permanent marker. I also wrote the size socket it takes for the spindle nut. ------------- It's the color tractor my grandpa had! |
