Thanks to all those who gave some good advice on sharpening brush hog blades. I bought the mower used and in great shape and blades were sharp. Now after using it for cutting grass and blackberries the blades are getting dull and I think it would do a better job if they were a little sharper. I thought of using an air impact for removing the nuts on the blades if I were going to take them off. First cleaning the threads with a wire brush then trying to remove the nuts. One question I now have about removing the blades is: Are the nuts on clockwise or counter clockwise? Someone mentioned they could be clockwise to loosen. Nice to know if I'm tightening or trying to loosen the nuts before I start. Once I get them off and ground down a little I will surely put anti seize on the bolts before I put them back in. I always use anti seize when putting things back together. Now it comes in a handy tube like chap stick so it's easy to carry in your pocket and use on every bolt you're installing. Thanks again to you all for all the great information on rotary mowers. Dick
