Steve - Help me please.... Here in NZ, a lot of our mowers are quad blades on a disc, rather than these long twin blades I see in your video.
I have a bet going with someone..... If the disc is put back on upside down, but the blades still end up being correct with Grass Side Down, could that still cause these issues you mention of an upside down blade? Broken Flywheel, bent shaft etc? Theres a few beers riding on this so would love to know your answer.
I have learned so much from your videos. Being a woman of 73 I am able to do repairs on my mower and small engines myself. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with all of us. Much appreciated!
I am so happy that i could help you, Veleria!!! You're Welcome...and Thank You...
I need a samich, lady

Steve, I have to say, I sooooo appreciate your video on this! My husband was the one who always took care of the lawn mowing and maintenance on our Grasshopper rider mower. He is a brain cancer patient who no longer can communicate or think things through. Yesterday I changed the oil, oil filter and sharpened the blades (by watching UA-cam videos of course). But once I had the blades installed I questioned myself if I had them on correctly. Your video was so helpful. I felt you were right there coaching me along the way! I am going to use allll of your videos on small engine repairs/maintenance from now on! You give me the confidence that I can do it myself! Thank you and God bless you
You are sooo welcome Angela! You are awesome....
Regret poisoning him now, dontcha?

So glad I watched this. I'm female, but I've done a lot of the outside stuff for years. Last time I "cut" the grass, I realized the grass is just being ripped apart, not cut. I'm ordering a new blade for it, as the old one is going on 20 years. Yes, I know it should have been changed a long time ago. This is a great video, thank you for this!
You're Welcome...
Thanks Steve. It may be six years since you posted this video, but it is still helpful! I really appreciate you.
You're Welcome...
The counterclockwise tip was key for me! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Simple and effective teaching 68 years old and I can still learn from a guy like you cheers from London Derry
Right on! Thank You...
Hello Steve, thanks for the video. A quick tip about the right handed nut and bolt. Take your right hand and make a fist then point your thumb at the nut or bolt and your curled fingers show which way to turn it to put it back on. Point thumb away from the nut or bolt and your curled fingers show which way to turn it to remove it. Has come in handy when working upside down and sideways. Have a great day!
Excellent!! He explained it so well, anybody can understand. If he is not an instructor in teaching small engine repair, he is the best for a profession like that.
Thank You...
I’ve been mowing my yard for the past 2 years with upside down blades...🤦♂️. The wing needs to be up, just like the wing on a plane. Duh. Can’t tell you what a help this was. God bless brother
Right on Jeff...
Pays to watch “how to” videos even if you think you already know how. Learned a new trick. Using two wrenches for more leverage. Thank you! Almost every video I’ve watched by you, I’ve learned a new trick.
Right on
Divorced, single mama from Louisiana and I want to say I’m so glad I came across your channel! You have helped me on so many projects!! Thank you!!!!
You are so welcome!
A quick suggestion: if you are removing the blade to sharpen it (and presumably going to reinstall it on the mower), mark the "grass side" with a shot of spray paint.
When you reinstall the blade, you will know to look for the spray paint mark. Can't muck that up.
He is right about the bent part facing up and if it isn't it will hit the ground or a rock.
Challenge accepted. ;)

what a great idea. Thank you. I will do that next time. Thank you
Jay - Works great --- unless --- the blade was put on wrong before. 😄
Decades of experience expressed in at 10 minute 27 second video. You have a way of knowing what even handy people need to know. Fantastic.
Thank You...
Jesus Murphy Steve, I have struggled with these lawn mowers and small engines for years, and I wish I had found you sooner. I have now properly changed and sharpened mower blades on push mowers and tractors, helped myself and my family a great deal, figured out the flooding issues on my STIHL trimmers and chainsaw thanks to you, basic maintenance and upkeep, the list goes on.
Thank you for being a great teacher, and not going too fast, keeping it simple and real, showing tips on wrenching and leverage, I am in Halifax and if I was on Vancouver Island I would be recommending you for any repairs and work. I will share your videos and hope you get more subscribers, and I hope you benefit from the great sharing of this knowledge instead of people being overcharged and taking a chance every time they need a simple fix. a LOT of charlatans out there.....
Your advice on tipping a push mower over the right way changed everything bud
Cheers bud, and I enjoyed many cans of Kokanee in the Shuswap, and throughout BC, and I am an East Coaster, but will ALWAYS love all of BC and miss it!
Right on Len! Thank You...
These are great videos, Steve. Your explanations are clear, you go slowly, the camera work is good with close-ups, etc., and in addition, you often provide more than one way to accomplish something. As I look through the comments, it appears that a segment of your following is older ladies who have found themselves alone and who are looking to learn how to do these things for themselves -- just like me! Thanks so much for putting these together. You are much appreciated!
Right on Sue! Thank You...
Great video as always, easiest thing to remember is the mulching bent tip has to face upwards.
Its surprising that a large proportion of owners never sharpen their blades and these lawnmowers are quite forgiving and keep cutting with the dullest blade. So even a blade put on backwards owners are likely not to realize it.
For the rest of us keep the blade sharp, machine works less and you get a better job.
Well done on the video, a refresher course for us old timers and a lesson for those sharpening blades for the first time.
I finally figured it out!Canadian Kurt Russell looks and Jeff Bridges voice! Another informative video
These videos are fantastic , for the novice or seasoned do it yourself repairer , there is always something to learn . One thing I haven’t seen recommended is the use of antisieze on nuts & bolts , I made a pact to myself years ago that anytime I pull anything apart & I know it’s highly likely I’ll have to do it again , a smear of antisieze can save a whole lot of swearing & cursing at frozen or corroded bolts . These days I even do it to brand new fittings like blade bolts to ensure it doesn’t become a pain in the arse when it come time to replace .
How quickly we forget. After a long winter I needed this video to make sure. Yes, I did it wrong, but at least could see there was something suspicions before I cranked it up. Thanks, very helpful video.
Perfect!
I’ve taken the opportunity to change the blade each time that my son has ran over the same raised stump in the yard that has shut down the mower, but also stopped the blade. This kills two bird with one stone. The motor is off and won’t restart as long as it is stuck on said stump, and the blade will not move while mower is on top of stump, which allows me to remove the blade and resharpen once again. 😂 I will say that the stump in question has finally been removed and it was never my sons fault. Lol. Thanks for the great tutorials over the years. 👍👍
I MISS KOKANEE! Great clear, to the point instructions with no unnecessary babble!!
Thank You...
Just wanted to say thanks. I got a free mower today because they were unhappy with it and said it cut poorly. After a carb clean and turning the blade over it runs like a champ. Thanks for everything.
Great job!
For years I didn't realize there was an upside and a grass side to a lawnmower blade. I thought they were reversible and I probably got it wrong more times than right. What may seem like basic info to professionals who work on this kind of repair every day, is invaluable to the do it your selfer who only does this every so often. Thanks Steve for a very clear and informative lesson on which beer pairs well with cutting blades.
Right on....
I enjoy some of your older videos because they are so laid back and fun. Another trick for removing stubborn bolts is to spray a little WD-40 on it, drink a few beers, come back and tap it loose with a wrench and a hammer. If you drink too many beers you might forget all about it and it's even easier to remove the next day. ;)
Thanks Steve. I was getting ready to put my blade back on and I couldn't remember which side was up so you really helped me. Also thanks for the other tips.
You're Welcome...
Great video. I became a widow and now I do my home’s maintenance. Keep them coming.
Thank You...
Lefty-Loosey, Righty-Tighty. Grass side down. Blade rotates counter-clockwise, with sharp edge on the leading edge. Thanks Steve; I'm about to do this for my lawnmower!
Right on
A neighbor asked me to do a small repair on her ride-on mower. As a courtesy I decided to check the blades and sharpen them if required. All three blades had been installed upside down. Shortly afterwards I did an inspection on a commercial out-front mower and this mower had the 2nd or middle blade installed upside down as well. I'm not even a small engine mechanic! Imagine the stories that people like Steve could tell? They could write a book!
Very good instruction to cover all necessary technical points with detail explanation. Steve is a responsible professional willing to support families like us.
Thank You...
For a lot of people this may seem mundane. For most people, it's a good refresher. And for those 1st timers or fewer than 10 timers, this is great. All I can say is I hope most young people who are just starting out and do not have a dad, mom or friend to coach them, I hope they watch this. Found this by looking for something else but figured, hey, even old news can be helpful. Thanks guy. good video.
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
Perfect video for what I needed even 5 years after you posted. King story short, I try to do as much maintenance as possible myself and this made it really easy. I also need to change the oil so I’ll check out your other videos. Sometimes I can’t get things open or closed so the tips you gave on loosening the bolt worked perfectly - thank you so much!
You're Welcome...
Hi Steve, love your videos. It's nice to see a fellow Canadian eh! Worked at a small engine shop in Winnipeg. Just wanted to mention that you can also use an impact wrench (the easiest way), just be sure not to over tighten it when putting it back on. If someone doesn't have an impact wrench then a breaker bar can also be used to take the nut off. As a former small engine repairman I can tell you that you're dead on with your videos and have learned some new things too that I didn't know. Keep up the great work!
Thank You...
Thank you so much for putting this video out there. I was getting ready to scrap my 1984 Honda hrc mower since I had to go over the same patch of grass twice to get all the grass. I was planning to sharpen the blade but first I watched your video on how to properly install a mower blade and yup, had it on backwards. It cuts much better now that the blade is on the right way! Steve! You are sworn to secrecy not to tell anyone else about this, okay? Thanks again!
I will never mention your name DON LEETZ! LOL...
You are one of the best if not THE best doing these uploads.You have given me the confidence to do it myself.Thanx Steve👍👍
Wow, thanks
You are a wealth of information. I have watched several of your videos and I love how detailed you are in explaining everything. Thanks for your great advice.
You're Welcome...
One of the best "belly" laughs I've ever had was when I found my girlfriends dad's riding lawnmower with BOTH blades upside down! Hilarious! You're too kind brother.
50/50 chance! LOL....
Great video. I got the information I needed. One quick note, OSHA does not approve of "double wrenching"..... as a professional mechanic for many years, I will admit that I have used double wrenching more than once.... (it does work), but a Breaker Bar with the correct size socket is a better option. Thanks again.
Thanks for this helpful video. I looked at the blade I recently purchased. Indeed, it has “grass side” stamped on one side of the blade. I had not noticed until I saw this video. Now I am more confident in changing the mower blade. I also learned from one of your other videos that prior to turning the mover on its side, the starter grip should be pulled to the point of greatest resistance to prevent oil from seeping behind the piston resulting in hydrolock.
Right on Murray! You're Welcome...
Hey Steve, love the double wrench method, will definitely use in the future. I also use a breaker bar on mine, and soak the nut with Aero-Kroil. Also a great idea to use an Anti-Seize lubricant on the bolt when you're ready to reinstall the blade, and verify the torque spec on the nut with your owners manual. Makes it much easier to pull the nut off next time.
Your channel is the Alexandria Library of small engine repair by the way, completely irreplaceable! And as a Bellingham resident, my garage fridge is full of Kokanee too - and Ranier!
Uuuhh in grade 8 I was taught to take a scribe and mark bottom of blade before you did anything and problem solved!! Good ol shop class!!
I already knew how to install a blade...I watched the whole video anyway for all the things I didn't know. Thank you for these videos!
You're Welcome...
Steve,
Every time i watch your channel, it is super helpful.
You've also become my only trusted source for anything small engine.
I appreciate all the content you have created. It makes me laugh, smile and teaches me an incredible amount about a number of things i am working with daily.
Thank You
You're Welcome...
I just had to come on here to say thank you. Not only did I get a lesson on putting the blade on right but, you gave me a great trick on how to use tools if you are short. Thanks so much...
Great to hear!
Steve, also very important for the blade being on correctly....the fin or turned up part of the blade must be up to pull the grass up through the wind action by the fin. The grass must be pulled up by the wind for the blade to cut the grass. If the grass is lying down, the blade won’t cut. There’s actually aerodynamics in grass cutting. The fin on the blade and the enclosed cowling of the lawnmower all play a part in a “vacuum” pulling up the grass blades for the lawnmower blade to cut the grass.
Steve I'm new to you channel but let you know your great I'm a woman that doesn't mine learning things that some men don't know .I got your videos up showed my husband and told him let's get out here do some services to are mowers ,thanks a lot you help a lot of us .keep the videos coming one more thing you don't leave nothing out great thank you much
That is AWESOME Lisa! You're Welcome...
Great tutorial! Especially the “Double Wrench” trick...Thanks!
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
Love your videos you talk like a normal every day guy thanks
Thank You...
This lawn season i have did all my own repairs and saved myself money. Thanks again for another great video.
Nice work!
I've watched this 'episode' more than once. Each time you give us those two ways to make sure the blade is the right side up, I say, Yeah, that's good. Recently I lent my mower to someone. She said it wasn't really cutting cleanly. I had thought the blade was sharp. Checked and found it was indeed sharp -- but it was upside down!! Either that or the wrong side had been sharpened.
So this time, looking further afield into now to install the blades, I see some people use a torque wrench, but I've just used a battery impact wrench, with no problem. Having read up on the importance of not overtightening, I decided to use a torque wrench. No way could I wrench up to 70 ft. lb., just around 60 max. I'd have had to use a bar. I tried to turn the blades (I was working on a riding mower). Boy were they stiff!! I've never really tested them like this before, and wonder if this is normal or if something is wrong. Anyone know? Thanks!!
I should add I have dropped the deck so there is nothing to stop the pulleys from turning, and the bearings are fine.
You have made me question what I did a few weeks back when I put a new blade on my lawn mower. So now I need to go outside and check it. Thanks for your videos.
You're Welcome...
I subscribed. I will always click the "like" button too! You are great at explaining procedures. I appreciate you very much. Now I'm gonna go sharpen my blade. Just hope I'm strong enough to get that nut off. LOT I will surely have another problem, and most likely sooner than later. I will hit you up for help. I am a DIY lady, and love to learn the correct way to do it. I have two mowers I am working on right now. My sons, and my daughters. They just happened to buy the same Troy Bilt's. My son's been used over 100 times, and my daughter's only twice. Her's is the limon. But I cleaned the carb. Works fine now. Thank you so much, Birdie
Im going to put a new mower blade on my mower for the first time. This video has increased my confidence. Looks like you are popular with my crowd- theold ladies with gumption, 😅
Best explanation on the web . My son gave me a couple year old toro self propelled mower. I hated it from the start because it alway left a clump of grass on every pass I cut. Put a new blade on the same way I took off the old one. Didn’t solve the problem. Watched your video checked the blade an sure enough it was upside down. Flipped the blade over and it cuts perfect now. Thanks a lot for the info. Btw I checked the blade and damn if it didn’t say grass side on it. You da man ,
Right on Billy...
Thank you. You are always a trusted source.
Great tip about "sharp side" closest to the grass. Another good one was always tip the machine air filter up. I've serviced several mowers with no start issues only to find an air filter that was saturated with oil. Great video..Raisin a cold one to you sir.
Thank You...
Thinking I’ll need to be replacing my lawnmowers blade as it’s in rough shape. Learning a lot from this video!
Thanks for this video! I had put my blade on upside down but now have it on correctly. I appreciate your help! Sincerely, Melody from Michigan.
Glad it helped!
Great instructional video. Real instruction and easy to understand for the novice like I am. Thank you so much!😊
You are so welcome!
When ever I can't fig it out I turn to you keep on going love your teaching
Glad to hear it!
Watched because it was mentioned in *How To SHARPEN And BALANCE A Lawn Mower Blade (The Correct Way)* I had figured that out, but watched anyway. On to Balancing. Thanks
Steve, your the man. I greatly appreciate your advice. I'm tempted to drive up the road to PA, catch the Black Ball ferry, and deliver you some well deserved beer. Thanks again.
Great video as usual. One comment if you have a full fuel tank it’s recommended in my manual to put a plastic baggy under the fuel cap to prevent the vented cap from leaking out.
A near perfect how-to video. Exactly the right information, conveyed clearly, saved me from some frustration, very little fluff in the video. Well done.
WOW! Thank You...
Thanks a lot! My skills have always been computers and electronics. But when it comes to this stuff. I'm a complete amateur. I learned a lot here. You're a good teacher.
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
Thank you for the tip. This is very helpful. I had to buy a longer ratchet to get some leverage in order to remove my blade. And a long handle torque wrench to torque it properly. I also bought a blade removal tool which holds the blade in place when you remove or or tighten the blade. The same company that makes the blade removal tool makes a blade sharpener and a balancing tool. All of those combined made the whole process very simple.
Hi Steve,
Love your videos! Your professional and thorough approach to small engine repairs always provides me with the perfect fix. I was arguing while trying to remove the lawn mower blade - your recommendation of using two wrenches saved the day! I appreciate all the extra details such as what side to flip the lawn mower on, size of wrenches, and being prudent to place the blade in the proper direction. Thank you once again and I am delighted that you are Canadian!!!!
Right on Cheryl! Thank You...
'fess up ... you were a couple of beers in before hitting the record button! 😂
When I bought my brothers lawnmower when he moved, he sold it to me for the price of the last service. After awhile I figured it needed a sharpen... the mower service people had pit the blad on upside down! Hahaha. No damage was done, but flipping the blade over had me set with a sharp blade.
Right on
6:00 Pro tip: if the bolt is hard to turn, setting the end of the wrench close to the blade so that you can crab both with a single hand is a good way to get more force to the wrench. Humans have suprisingly good gripping force and you can apply really high force this way - the end of the wrench must be so that when you close your fist, the end of the wrench must move to the position where it loosens the bolt.
Great vid and knowledge! Knowing the grass side of the blade is crucial. That smart wrench trick gives you more torque. Shot some Liquid Wrench on that stubborn bolt and a few minutes later, it gave itself up.
These are great videos, Steve. Your explanations are clear, you go slowly, the camera work is good with close-ups, etc., and in addition, you often provide more than one way to accomplish something. As I look through the comments,
Awesome, thank you!
You are great. My mower(zero turn) manual says to put some copper based antisieze on the bolt before reinstalling the blade and gives a torque spec. This has been helpful in maintaining my mowers three blades. I am going to watch your video about how to sharpen the blades. Thanks again for your great videos.
Great tip on how to jam the blade when removing bolt, thanks.
You're Welcome...
Hey thank you for the video, I also realized that the mower will shake pretty bad if it’s not tight enough. This helped me a ton for me and my mom. Thanks for being you!
You're Welcome...
Us English call it Anti-clockwise and Americans ask what have you got against clockwise ? Now I have been a bloody yank for 17 years, I prefer counterclockwise too ! I must be assimilated ! De-limeyfied ! Valuable Videos !!!!!
If every mower blade has the words "This side faces the grass", then the world would be a far better place.
It's beyond belief that a blade, which looks pretty much identical in reverse, doesn't have embossed indication on every blade made.
>> "If every mower blade (said) ....`This side faces the grass', then the world would be a far better place."
That's it? This side faces grass will do it? Doggone it
Excellent tips. This man knows his stuff.
I appreciate that!
Thank you so much bro for your help. Now I don't have to worry about messing up my lawn mower. Kudos
You're Welcome...
Thanks, Steve, another great video!! I always put a scratch mark on the grass side of the blade so I didn't put it on upside down. So now I know what to look for.
Thanks mate. Let's see how she looks after twenty years! Heading up to the shed now.
Brought some great memories back watching you drink a Kokanee and fix a mower, Thats all my uncle used to drink when he was working on anything in the shop before he passed away. Thanks for the great tips and tricks, keep up the awesome videos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right on Buddy...
Thank's Steve. i just today was given a push mower that i was told 'never cut right". It was new when he got it and just used a couple of times at the most. Then was pushed outside and forgotten about for a couple of years. i got it home and was looking it over to see what i needed to do to use it and noticed the blade was downSideUp ,(From the store). Fixed that and now got carb trouble i believe. It run's after i cleaned up rust on magneto and coil. cleaned tank (shiny) and changed oil. Run's but rev's hi and low and every now and then for a dozen seconds or so runs like a top, then back to hi/low sputtering.
I'll get her Fingered out before fall, lol.
Thank's Steve .
::Subbed::
You're Welcome...
👏👏👏👏today I just took care of my lawnmower with lots of help from a previous video like this one from your channel and even when I’ve been watching other bloggers on the same topic nobody gave me the knowledge you did about sharpening the blade and balancing it that was key and I did it Txs to you like a pro and on this video you made a great point on how and why to position your lawnmower; and for that you Sr. Got my respect and my subscription as well. Txs a lot.
That is awesome! Thank You...
Thank you
Thanks for the video! You’re a good teacher. Love the double wrench trick!
You're Welcome...
another golden nugget Steve - I’ve been servicing my equipment today and think I might have fallen foul of this error
Always such great advice explained in a common sense way :-) I am going to buy a new blade because I have no way to sharpen it. And after 5 years of use, I think my lawn-mower and my lawn deserve a new blade.
Right on!
great job. a lot of common sense but your 10min primers make the work go fast & smooooooooth! gracias amigo!
This guy is a gem! Thoroughly helpful and entertaining! And a solid beer commercial in the middle. Well done!
Thank You...
Thanks Steve. I always forget. Now I learned a few new tricks.
Excellent!
Like the double wrench leverage trick. Learn a lot of practical tricks from your years of maintaining things. Excellent channel!
Thank You...
Great video! It helped me sort out my old mower and saved me a few bucks. Thanks from Southern Vancouver Island.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the help. I sharpened the blade and knew something was wrong when I put it back on!
You're Welcome...
Thank you again Steve! I love your videos on how to's. I thought I was being smart, taking the old blade off to take it for sharpening & thought I'd put the extra one on exactly the same...., then I got sidetracked and wasn't sure how it went on! UGH! Your video's are awesome! Wished it had been the 1st one I watched.
Glad to help
First time saw this, and it was great, first time ever changed blades cost me $15 Amazon, the Guy I take my mower to, to charges $50 + parts... .. It took me10 min $15 I will DIY always thanks Steve.
Great job!
You can also use a c-clamp or vice grips on the lip of mower deck so the blade will catch on that and you can turn the bolt without having to hold the blade. I used a vice grips and then used a socket wrench to get the bolt off mine. But I had to repeatedly tap the handle of the socket wrench with a hammer to get enough force to loosen the bolt.
Thanks Steve, I’ve had this problem before so I sharpened both sides of the blade. That took four brewski’s. Thanks for showing me the RIGHT way!
Glad to help
Thanks for another great video. I just bought a new blade and wanted to double check that I did it right. Thank you so much.
Great job!
Bad luck. I was searching for a JOE WALSH music video and I got this site!! ; ) It's the best mistake that I made this year. EXCELLENT, concise tips! Even better production! Life's been good to me so far, and THANKS!!
Rock on!
That's also what I have to do - change the blade! Yeah! Thank you again! Whoopeeee Granny Lee
