thank you! I found some of the replacement parts for my 19" lawn hog mulching mower but am still looking for a replacement blade. These are discontinued. The unique shape may be needed
Helpful. The plastic spacer is not available in my search. But I bought another lawn hog for $10 earlier this year because of a switch problem. A couple days ago, I hit something and the center hub between the fan blades shattered. (Thought it was a cotter pin the way the blade was loose) Luckily it was a part including the donor mowers blade, that I kept.
One mo t’ing…my blade was almost freely spinning, the insulator was worn almost flat. I bought a replacement insulator after first thinking it was a sheered cotter pin (but it doesn’t work that way). Tried to turn the center bolt with a socket wrench, slipping. I tried to hold the metal square with a clamp 👎 slips, lockjaw couldn’t clamp enough bite, but then i found my flat “sink drain wrench” by Superior…perfect tool for gripping the square. I do have to see if I can return the pair of fans that i bought with the insulator. The Amazon seller’s parts view only showed the fan side; this was from an earlier model B&D that isn’t flat on the non-fan side.
Me again. This year I found my Lawn Hog was vibrating, loose blade after doing my backyard relatively heavy grass. I looked up cotter pin, finding an electric uses a plastic insulator not a cotter pin. Also, two of the fins were gone. Parts are scarce; a source on Amazon but the shipping adds up. It’s still in transit; i used an old reel mower yesterday. I will fix it, being old school i’d sooner repair than replace but the price of parts…whew, close to a false economy. I’m looking at, until the parts arrive, drill a couple holes in the fan I’ll be replacing and put a couple tie wraps holding the blade secure, for now. And sharpen the blade so it’s less challenged.
How can I find your repair video on the button switch. I've not been successful in fixing this and it's making me crazy because it seems so simple, but I just cant see where the inner spring piece that engages the handle goes. Any advice would be great. Thank you.
I had the same issue, try realigning the blade, plastic and metal square with each other and hold everything down towards the lawnmower while wrenching the fastener off. Hope it works for you, that was what helped me
I'm attempting to repair one that I found. All of this looks good, and i get power- it propells itself across the yard just fine. Only problem is, the blades still not spinning. I've only removed the orange cover, blade and battery. Is there a drive motor i havent seen yet *and* the blade motor I'm looking at?
Nice video. I have that lawn mower, it is so annoying how the insulator easily strips. I am not an engineer but there must be some better way to design it.
Wish my Milwaukee 18v mower put a PART NUMBER on what is only listed as a "blade mower fan." One tree branch and this plastic part that the metal blade is mounted to breaks! Not a bad idea to save the motor IF i can buy the part! Home Depot sells blade but not the platic part that breaks easily. Common now! This mower was not cheap. Dont think a steel deck matters if a plastic part breaks so easily. Had my previous gas powered mower for 30 years and has never had the blade stop because of a platic part. That old mower is all metal. I feel like new mowers are made to break. Again if i can get the plastic part that isnt so bad. But no. I can get blades. Not the plastic part the blade mounts to! (Thank you.)
Hi! Nice video! Maybe you can help? I did all this, the motor is running but making a higher pitched noise than before and the blade still isn't spinning. Is there a belt drive in these things, i think that's whats off and i can't find anything helpful on how to repair.
In my model, the shaft that spins the blade is connected directly to the motor assembly -- I'm pretty sure there is no belt. Hopefully this isn't the case in your motor, but I would suggest disassembling the parts that hold the motor in place to find out
Follow up with detail to my previous comment on replacing the plastic "blade motor fan" on a Milwaukee 18v lawn mower. Previously I stated there is a parts manual that can be found without much difficulty. It has diagrams. (Nice.) BUT there is no part listed for the blade motor fan. Milwaukee's service web site allows you to download a parts list. There one single "blade motor fan assembly" listed for $42.90 can be found. Must be the correct one right? I don't know! Its a spread sheet. There's no picture. And that seems a little stiff for a plastic part, doesn't it? BUT THEN, I'm told that my account can't purchase the item. (Not nice.) On Reddit I read that a company called Biedlers sells Milwaukee parts. AND they actually DO have the blade motor fan assembly. No picture though. So who knows what this is for. There is no blade motor fan "assembly" listed in the official parts guild that does not list a part number for the plastic part equivalent to what's shown in this video. So, Milwaukee guess what. Even though your lawn mower shows generally as high quality and highly reviewed, I suspect that's before people have a problem with it. I will call your parts place on Monday to see if someone answering the phone will know if your "blade motor fan assembly" is for the 18v lawn mower. And if someone can't answer that, possibly looking at your web site like I did, Home Depot can have your lawn mower back. Instead, since it appears OTHER brands have this plastic part available, I will get one of them.
I hit a rock and the thing stopped abruptly. Now its getting power but nothing is working. Thinking maybe a bigger problem than blade alignment or loose
I may be having this very issue, but even more pressing is that the nut is stuck on the first square beneath it. Every time I turn the nut to the left in an effort to remove the pieces so I can sharpen my blade, both the nut and the square turn together. Do you happen to have any suggestions? I can't seem to come up with a way to keep the square still so both the square and the nut spin endlessly together.
On my model, the plate is be keyed to the motor's axle, and won't spin around freely. I'm assuming your model is similar and that the nut and plate are indeed two separate parts. Perhaps you can try to hold the blade in place, then try to loosen the nut and check to see that the square plate is prevented from moving by the axle.
The square washer is indexed (connected) to the motor shaft so you are saying turning the nut also turns the motor shaft and is not being held from turning by holding the blade? If so I would use what we do in automotive when we have a shaft that is turning with the nut and no way to hold the shaft in place. Use an air or possibly even an electric operated impact wrench. It will put a quick shock load to spin the nut loose. High enough impact force will knock the nut loose from the shaft.
I believe the footage shows the correct orientation for my blade and motor. Around 7:42 the blade is installed with the sharp end facing down on the left and up on the right. The motor spins counter clockwise so the sharp ends lead the motion.
i'm having trouble getting my lawnmower blade to turn by the motor at all. The motor comes on but i can see inside that it's not turning the mechanism to turn the fan. Could it be a broken belt?
@@loridickens7173 I haven't yet needed to open up the enclosure that houses the motor on my lawnmower, so I can't confirm if there are any belts that could be broken. It sounds reasonable that it might be the cause. Do you have access to a parts diagram for your model of lawnmower? That will show how things are connected, without having to take everything apart.
will never understand why people never clean their lawn mowers... boggles my mind. I use my tools, I clean them, I put them back... lawnmower is a tool.. *waits for that to sink in* . I have a Black & Decker corded electric with an 18" blade... the blade & assembly fits onto the socket, which has a key or template to keep you from having this problem in the first place. You've probably assembled the blade configuration incorrectly. . I Sharpen the blade once a month with a Dremel, and I have NEVER had an issue.. the mower is 15 years old and its seen some serious use... yours is a newer model and you're having this much trouble? . Watched your vid.. the center shaft assembly looks like it has been replaced?? . Blade goes down first . Plastic insulator plate goes down second & nestles on the blade due to side-ridges . Metal lock-plate nestles into the insulator plate, while the 'key' on the lock plate prevents it spinning... it physically CAN'T unless that key on the spindle is missing . .... then the bolt goes down on the plate. . . Would post pictures if I could. . No idea how your mower has taken so much damage :(
Could this also happen if the shaft thread is stripped, maybe due to over tightening the top nut? I'm having the same problem (even with the same new components he used) but don't think the thread is stripped because I've put the nut on the thread by itself to test the thread and the nut turns properly. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "key" on the spindle.
@@robbrien8506 'key' refers to the flat sides that prevent the block from spinning if its placed in the right order.. blade, then plastic plate, then metal plate, then nut

I can't get my blade off. I hold the blade still and the bolt just spins without loosening or tightening. What do I do?

I purchased the parts from eBay:
