Craftsman Lawn Mower Repair - How to Replace the Blade

Bro said, "Meh, they won't need to know what size socket to use"

This works ...

Best instructional video I've ever seen. Simple, to the point, and just the right amount of info.

Thanks so much. Really needed this today. Have a blessed day friend

I tipped mine over like this and gas was pouring out on the front like crazy

Thank You! Be Blessed! The Bolt Is Metric! 🤢

What's the torque. The most important part.

I was recently mowing my lawn and I ended up hitting a small stump that was in the ground and covered up with grass and weeds. The stump bent my blade pretty bad and caused my Craftsman m100 mower to make a horrible rattling sound. I went to Walmart and bought a new 21 inch Troy Bilt mower blade that fit perfectly. Now my mower sounds brand new and cuts better than ever. I was worried at first that I had ruined my mower, but all I needed besides a new blade was an oil change cause I hadn't changed my oil in the 2 years since I bought it and the old oil was starting to breakdown and burn. Now my Craftsman mower back in perfect working condition

Thanks basic enough

Torque Wrench?

i wanted to know what size socket i needed. so this video was not helpful

Guys I wanna just throw out 2 very important safety tips that weren't mentioned on here just to keep you all safe out there:
1. Before tilting the lawn mower remove the gas cap and place a plastic Ziploc bag securely over the gas tank opening and then tightly screw the gas cap back on this will prevent gas leakage when the mower is tilted because even if the cap is on tight it vents and gas can leak out
2. VERY IMPORTANT! Please disconnect the spark plug from the spark plug boot/wire because the mower could accidentally and unexpectedly start up and that would be very dangerous while working on it and just for extra security I also recommend placing a bag on the wire/boot to prevent any contact with the spark plug and wire
Hope was helpful stay safe :)

What size socket is it?

It might depend on your mower but mine has 9/16 bolt size

What size is the tool attachment?

This video is 3 years old, but helpful to me as I replace my blade today with confidence. Thank you!

I need to replace the screw that holds the blade. I need to know the screw specification. Thanks and congrats by the video!

Please disconnect the spark plug FIRST! Unless you don't care about your fingers/hands

Lets not say the bolt let size used..that would be too helpful.

Thank u sir. I wasn't sure what direction to turn. I didn't want to shear off the bolt. Ya know. 😁🙂🕔

This might b a dumb question but do I have to drain the gas before tilting
