ebinmaine 74,991 #2 Posted 14 hours ago Spindle wrench. I've read about them here. But I don't want to call ever seeing one in person. No need either. We don't mow with tractors. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 10,307 #3 Posted 13 hours ago Yup - some of the newer ones for sale are cast. Nope... I have not had an issue with the 1-1/8" nut; the difficult one is the 15/16 flats on the spindle. I bought a "yard sale" one and thinned the width to fit. That works. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeM 9,064 #5 Posted 12 hours ago That wrench is used to hold the spindle hex between the blade and spindle. It is long enough to catch the side of the deck so the nut can be loosened that holds the blade. Some have tried to use it to tighten the nut and doesn't work good for that application, just to hold the shaft from turning. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 62,606 #7 Posted 10 hours ago Much like @ri702bill I took one of my 1 1/8' combination wrenches and cut it down with a port-a-band just enough to slip into the space above the blade. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynnmor 8,145 #8 Posted 7 hours ago I bought one when I purchased my 1991, only to find out it was made of peanut butter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
