I dropped the base that the blades are attached to. there is a nut on one end, 1 5/8...on the other end it is round. may be there was supposed to be a square shoulder to keep it from turning...in any case it turns. Neighbor came over and we tried a pipe wrench but just can't get enough of a full bite. kept slipping. How do you get these things loose?

I've gotten a couple of sets loose with a 3/4" drive ratchet and large socket to fit. Then put a cheater bar on that. I put the socket and short extension through the hole in the deck while the entire revolving cutter is still attached to the machine. This keeps it from turning and you having to hold it. Once loose remove the entire spinning unit. remove the nuts and bang out the bolts with a sledge. They do get tight but they can be gotten off. Do check the rotation also.

Before using the smoke wrench, try an impact wrench. They will get things loose, that just won't budge any other way. Make sure that you're turning the nuts in the right direction. Most mower blades are attached with left hand threads, to keep them tight during use. I take care of my own mower, and about 30 other mowers, as part of my job. I have to sharpen 10 to 15 sets a week. I've never had a set that the impact wrench wouldn't break loose.

Have you checked to determine whether the bolts are right or left-hand thread?
