Finish Mower - Blade bolt hole stripped

The bolt that goes through the blade and into the gear box has stripped out (I think the bolt that was in it was too short). Anyone had successful repairs on this? Here are my 3 options that I came up with.
- Use the remaining 1/2 inch of threads, and get a longer bolt.
- Put in a heli-coil.
- Drill and tap the shaft for a larger bolt.

This is on a Landpride 6' finish mower with 3 blades.

Thanks,

Jon

When I removed the bolt for the left blade on my 6' Landpride finish mower the threads came out with the bolt. The other two were fine. I replaced the shaft, not cheap, but safe.

I would clean the threads with a tap and then get a stud to thread into the shaft and use red loctite to hold it in. You can then use a nylon locknut to hold the blade on. It will allow you to keep changing the blade without ruining the rest of the threads in the shaft. HTH ;>) JF

Might try rethreading existing threads clear to bottom of hole, and then using longest bolt you can get in there, which will allow the blade to be tight. (May use a washer or two as spacers if bolt just slightly too long.) 'Course the best answer is to replace the whole shaft part -that's probably expensive!)
