I have always taken pretty good care of my bush hogs. I have always put neversieze, on the blade nuts, when I have the pins and blades out. Agree with others that they don't have to be razor sharp, I try to mock the edge you get, on a new blade. I would try to get the blade pins out, while the b-hog is on the ground, attached to the tractor. Try to turn with a 3/4" breaker bar, and cheater pipe, to increase leverage. Once you get them moving, it's not so bad, most of the time. Once you have the nut out, generally one hard hit, with a brass drift, and 3 Lb no bounce hammer, and the blades are laying on the ground. Be sure to inspect the pins, as a loose pin will wear the slot out, on the carrier. Pins cost about $10-15, carriers, about $200. Put neversieze on it all, when you re-assemble, and you are good for life!
