Part of the routine maintenance required fir a Troy-Bilt riding lawnmower includes the periodic removal of the cutting blades. Whether a blade is to be sharpened or replaced, it is first necessary to remove the blade from the spindle under the mowing deck. Remove the blades of a Troy-Bilt mower at the beginning of each mowing season and as needed to keep the mower operating properly.
Step 1
Park the Troy-Bilt mower on a flat and level surface. Place the transmission in gear and set the parking brake to prevent rolling. Remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting.
