Steve in Mo 3 #1 Posted May 30, 2011 Same old question been asked a million times before but I don't want to goof up. I know that the basic rule is whatever direction your blade turns the nut comes off the other way. Been soaking the nuts on my md. # 78315 deck all day and they will not break loose at all. I am turning clockwise as the blades apear to turn counter clockwise. The deck is used but new to me, looks to be in very good shape except the blades need a good sharpenning. As always thanks a heep for the help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duff 206 #3 Posted May 30, 2011 I'm with Mike - nuts come off counterclockwise, at least on my 37"SD, 42" RD, and two different decks on my green tractors. Duff :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tarcoleo 119 #4 Posted May 31, 2011 Anti-clock, impact wrench. No impact wrench? Simulate impact wrench with many- times-repeated whacks with the hammer on the wrench. It will come off with patience. Anyway, did for me. Tom in RI :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
