Metric socket

I'm removing the blades fron my Woods BB84 BrushBull mower. The nuts are just a little smaller than my 3/4 drive 12 point 1 3/4 socket.I'm afraid to use that as it "rattles" a little and I REALLY don't want to round that nut off down in the mower where it's hard to get to. Is it metric nut? What size would that be. A 44? I'm gonna need an impact 6 point. Spendy? Probably the only job thst socket will ever do around here.
 
You need a 6 point, 5/8 and 16mm are the same size. You can buy a set of cheap impact sockets for $30.00 or less. Think Harbor Freight or Cummings Tool.
 
GordoSD, 44 mm is 1.732

There are 25.4 mm per inch. So just divide the MM number by 25.4 and you have the English size.
 
Best thing is to check it with a digital caliper and see what size it is...
I very much doubt it's metric but you never know. It could be 1-11/16". I find that more often than not, in larger sizes like that... running it a bit loose won't much matter. 6 points are a lot better about that tho.... A modest application of heat to a steel nut may also help although if it's a nylock you don't want to heat it.

I thought it was 2.52? But that is 44.4mm
I soaked it all day with PB and got them off , BUT I could see burring on the corners using the 1 3/4 12 point. Sunday and the implement guys were closed.
So the blades are reconditioned and I have two years to sort it out. And YES i did apply never seize to those bolts.
Thanks for the help
 
I am used to sharpening riding mower blades. These 7 foot bush hog blades were quite illuminating. Chucked them up and went to work on them with new 40 grit flap wheel. Took about 20 minutes per end to get a nice blended edge and remove 4 years of rocks and badger hole damage.
Ordering a new set for layaway tomorrow. Unless they come in at the 24 ct gold price LOL
 
No comment on the metrics but there"s a place I buy from that may be cheaper. Look up "AgriSupply" in NC & SC.

Just because what you need doesn"t show on your computer screen, it doesn"t mean they don"t have it. Call them and ask if they have it.

In the case of replacement discs, they tell you what country the stuff came from.

Don't know about the BrushBull but the finished mower (RM59) has reverse threaded bolts holding the blades. You probably already know this but at one point in time, I didn't.
 
This works for me. The direction to loosen a nut is in the direction it normally turns. This works for saws and mower blades. It worked on my old 62 jag which had knock off spinners on the wheels too.

GordoSD, Why not invest in new nuts?

To get the nuts IH wanted to sell me the bolt too. But I had him measure the bolt head and it is 1 11/16. So ordered one of thos in impact modle for a mere 23 dollars.

Why can't I use a dial caliper like a grown up? :lol:
 
I guess you could if you like converting standard to metric and back again... Personally I'd rather hit the button on the caliper and have the chip convert it for me.
