Your hand start recommendation is spot on. Saves having to clean up the threads with a tap and die, as I have done just the one time. Slow is fast. Fast is slow. Lesson taken to heart. I also like to tip my mower back rather than to the side and I do use a torque wrench to snug the bolts down. For those who have trouble with stuck bolts -- a breaker bar will get it done.
Tks for taking the time to make the video, i am doing my first blade chage and was looking to find out if the blade bolts were reverse threads or regular and I was able to determine they are regular when you were hand tightening the blots back in. Also props for reminding us about the spark plug
Tip/suggestions: Apply antiseize on the bolts that way it won't seize and you don't have to apply lube again. Also, raise the handle straight up and tip the mower straight back onto the handle or on it's side and the mower will sit up 180* (if the tank is full just put a small plastic bag just inside the cap so it won't leak.
And, for those who like to put a torque wrench on everything, Toro says 60 ft lbs for the blade bolts. Which surprised me, because the 20-in mower has a single bigger blade and they usually specify 35 to 40 foot pounds. Maybe it's because the smaller blades are spinning faster?
The one thing I needed to know is how to put the blades on.... curved Side Up or down.... not used to changing blades I have put them on backwards before... it would be good if you showed people which way to turn the blade when putting on
I did reference the 3min and after mark you can see the washer is on top like going back into the mower.. the waves are facing up and the cutting blade is on the ground. another reference to use is put you blade on the ground and if the curve is going up then it's the correct direction.. look how I am tightening the bolt with my hand. The curve is going up towards the mower.. I hope this helps
Yes.. still love them.. clogging is the same for me in compares to OEM... Yes there are better lubricant spray.. WD-40 has been good me since I change blades every 10hours
I really like mine. I'd really love it if it had a bigger gas tank. The blade timing belt idle pulley and tension pulley are notoriously weak, but you can upgrade to the ones off the eXmark.
Firstly tell us whether or not its right or left hand thread, also you don't know what's going into your bare hands, think first. Looks like its normal thread
Good point. I normally clean or spray bottom of deck prior too changing blades. I never had a problem using my bare hands. Wearing Gloves is an excellent idea if it's for a more comfortable feeling for you.
thanks dude. answered my questions before i replaced my blades. gotta love youtube and people who take time to help others. have a great day!

Anytime Dude.. glad I could help 👍🏾
Great review and how easy to replace the blades. 👍
The underside of your deck looks great. I spray PAM non-stick on it to keep grass from sticking!
Thanks. I will look into it

You are a rock star Methodical2
Nice
Good video, for sure. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Anytime my friend
Those blades are working great.. cutting like butter.. I had to get some for the 48" as well
And, for those who like to put a torque wrench on everything, Toro says 60 ft lbs for the blade bolts. Which surprised me, because the 20-in mower has a single bigger blade and they usually specify 35 to 40 foot pounds. Maybe it's because the smaller blades are spinning faster?
That was my question, thank you!!!
Thank you … I agree 60 does sound like a lot
Thanks Pheres! Going to locate me some Copperheads!! Great video!
Great job. Thank you. Wanted to know if the bolt was a reverse thread, but hand tighten was clearly righty tighty. Thanks again.
Glad I could help with the video
Thanks. Right to the point! Looks very easy as well
Anytime
I just upgraded from the Toro timemaster to the turf master and it's incredible
That's awesome. Share some videos and pictures
With two blades must have "T" pattern/ alignment . Always test by hand that blades do not touch.
Great video. Thank you Sir.
Anytime my friend

I got to try them.
notice less clogging under deck with the copperheads?
still liking them?
helpful pointer.....use spray oil instead of wd-40....
Yes.. still love them.. clogging is the same for me in compares to OEM... Yes there are better lubricant spray.. WD-40 has been good me since I change blades every 10hours
Great instructional video my man, is that mower pretty good, I've been looking at them!
Aww thanks.. that means alot coming from you. Yes it's a good mower and the bag is huge especially if you need to bag anything..
I really like mine. I'd really love it if it had a bigger gas tank. The blade timing belt idle pulley and tension pulley are notoriously weak, but you can upgrade to the ones off the eXmark.
👍
Nice!
Thanks Brian
Thank you for showing me how to put the blades on. But I needed to know which way do I set the blaze as far as for a good vacuum thank you
Thank you!
Anytime
Couldn’t get my bolts to come off or even budge. Sprayed wd40 waited. Still nothing. Any ideas?
Do you have a breaker bar with a deep socket
Are these bots reverse thread? Mine are stuck on so good i cant tell which way is the righr way to turn them
Straight thread. Righty righty. Lefty loosy
@@phereschatman9242 appreciate it. They were on pretty crazy but all good now. Thanks for the reply!
Shop tech over tightened these on mine, trying to remove them but can't.
Use a extension with long socket
Dam bro my lawn mower blades won’t come off . Maybe my impact driver ain’t that powerful . It’s a craftsmen came with the drill I got too .
