Trying to remove brush hog blades from an older woods 5 foot brush hog. Removed bolt, key, & shims. Pin is not moving even with force. Are there any other items locking it in place Or just rust? The blades appear to be on backwards. The sharp edge is like new and all along the back side it is shiny and rounded. Bought this used and did not look at the blades close until now! It was cutting, but tended to lay the grass down.

Been there , Dad had a set of blades that where in a 5' for some 10 years they were junk. Heat spray with a good oil etc. Use a jack , old bolt or punch and about a 4-8 pound shelge. Jack up the cross bar, sirport the bar very well with wood ( AS NOT TO HAVE IT FALL ON YOU) , and drive them out. from the top down. Took us about 4 hours, turned the whole brush hog over to see what was what. What a time we had.

Have a Good One!!

He said it was a WOODS. The blades are held on with a PIN and the pin is held in place with a KEEPER which is held in place with a CAP SCREW. This is a much better arrangement than others use with a big bolt. If the pin is stuck it must be removed by brute force. It wil come out then clean it up and grease it before replacement.

Yes, i agree Woods by far has the best system for keeping the blades on there rotary cutters. I've never had the problems getting the blades off my Woods like i did my Bush Hog brand cutter, but i guess the above poster, needs to get a "bigger hammer". :>)

I guess there are different methods and different opinions of them. I deal with most brands of cutters in my job, and all but Woods use a blade bolt/nut arrangement. I happen to think the Woods pin/keeper/bolt system is just about the dumbest idea since using the blade bar to establish downshaft bearing preload. That is another of Woods' longstanding engineering marvels. The original poster needs to apply heat to the blade bar where it will expand the pin bore and break the death grip of rust.
