When looking at Impact Drivers or Drills, I always recommend you purchase a brushless for longevity. They simply work better and last longer than standard drills. I also like the Ridgid brand for their Lifetime Service Agreement (must register tool).

The correct socket size is 15/16th not 5/16th. Sorry I misspoke in the video.

Precise and to the point. No BS talking about a bunch of crap you don’t need to do. Good to see a man with common sense. 👍

I used to use a floor jack, but since I had an awning put on my storage building with heavy lumber, I now use a chain hoist and raise it as high as I want . And yes definitely impact is only way to go for me . Very nice video!!!

Best view of removal that I've seen. Thanks

[richardwood]

ALWAYS use jackstands and never rely on a floor jack if any part of your body is going to be under the machine.
Whhel chocks would be good dea too.

I have this exact mower. I will try this method tomorrow. Thanks.

So how are you going to properly torque using an impact driver? Won't you damage the shaft by overstretching and eventually stressing shaft enough the blades could work loose? Better off using a tool blocking blades from rotation and properly torquing.

[bonkersmcgee]

Just did this with that exact same tool. When I went to start the mower one of the blades flew off. That was fun.

[sirfloyd]

yup I do that lots of times jack it up used my impact yup no problem

[billykidd]

GOOD STUFF !! YOU JUST SAVED ME A BUCH OF TIME...APPRECIATE IT. AND SUBSCRIBED

[JohnnyWorld]

i bought some replacement blades and the arch in the middle of the blade was inverted. Does that make a difference. clockwise turn. cub cadet rzt zero turn 46"

This requires Jack stands as that floor jack slips (especially with the parking brake on before lifting). Great video regardless.

Is it a reverse thread? What direction do you have to put the drill in, is it forward to unscrew?

[davidb]

Impact driver or
Impact wrench ?
Can you do it with a driver ?

[jeffmhobbs]

Use anti-seize lube on bolts too. I take my blades to Hustler dealership. 8 bucks per blade to sharpen and balance. I don't feel confident enough to do myself.

[jinxthegreat]

Thank you, easy
to understand info, I've always liked working with my hands, just never knew what I was doing haha, you have helped quite a few times.

Tightwad - let me ask the question a different way. What is the max torque of your impact driver? If you don't know, what is the model and I can look it up. I'm thinking that you will need a minimum of 100 ft/Lb of nut busting torque. This is really a time saver and worth the investment I think.

[hungry]

Another good video...one thing my MoJack directions say is to not engage the parking breaks until the mower is jacked up. But I have to say, the impact driver is awesome. On my fab deck, I am taking off the top pulley guard and putting a wrench in it or attaching a C-clamp. What you are doing is a great time saver. What torque in FT Lbs are you using? I’m using a torque wrench and tightening to 80 ft lbs. Can your impact wrench tighten to say 80 ft lbs? Thanks again.
