I've got to replace the blades on my bush hog SQ600. The owner's manual says I need a 1-11/16 inch socket and that the nut holding it should be tightened to 600 ft/lbs of torque. My question is: Am I going to be able to do this with hand tools or does it require special equipment? Thanks in advance.

I believe he means a torque multiplier.

I pulled the blades on my 305 using a 6' cheater pipe on a 3/4" drive breaker bar. This was the first time on this mower and I bent the breaker bar. The next time I did it I used a 1" impact that I bought at Harbor Freight for $100 on sale.
Much better and quicker.

depends if they have been off before and how they were put back on

3/4 drive, 6 inch extension on socket thru the hole in the deck, LONG pipe on the breaker bar, get socket on there good the first time

you can get new genuine mushroom headed bolts and blades at dealer not much more expensive than TSC, as cheap as I am I pay the extra, bit of anti-seize on the threads helps for next time

if blades are in decent shape, sharpen them in place with angle grinder and go back to work, grind same amount off each blade

The easy way to do it is take a torch and cut the old bolts out and get new bolts. Or you will need a 3/4 drive breaking bar or rachet.Start soaking the bolts with your favorite penetrating oil several days in advance.I've also heard of people standing these things on the edge to make access much better. If you do that be sure it's good and secure.
