If you're inclined to lose owners manuals, get yourself a ring binder and put ALL of your tool/or home equipment mauals in it. Park it on a shelf or shop cabinet and I promise, you will thank yourself one day!

10-4! William Fotiou, Thanks for the support.

I have one of these mowers Sears as gone out of business and Lowe’s carries the brand now. Hope they have a replacement blade.

Thanks for this now I can do this all myself!!! But I wont!!!!

[@benewell4162]

Uhm, what size socket?

Oh man, I was hoping you would show how to balance that star blade. I have a Craftsman 7.5 Silver mower. Always a problem.

[@dadsworkshopbykipplabrie7982]

Dang... Sorry Chicago I should have shown that in my video plus I found myself using the balancing cone more often. Here's a link for a balancing cone that works for "star" mounting shapes.

Have an answer for the Craftsman blade adapter where the pins have been sheared off and the cheap Chinese replacements don’t last more than a second after the engine starts? I went through 3 of them that were ordered off of Amazon.

[@dadsworkshopbykipplabrie7982]

Haven't had any problems yet but I have one on standby from amazon. Thanks for watching.

[@michaelsix9684]

use wD-40 on nut before taking it off

[@dadsworkshopbykipplabrie7982]

Will do, thanks for the pro tip!

[@roberttalebli4869]

Can you replace a star pattern blade with a O pattern?

[@dadsworkshopbykipplabrie7982]

Yes, but only if the "star" mounting shape tightly fits over the round/circle blade adapter there should also be two small mounting holes on each side of the blade in some cases.

My torque stick(arm) is always pre set to 55 ft pounds so I'll be fine

[@brandonbernazzoli2673]

You literally showed nothing

[@dadsworkshopbykipplabrie7982]

I know right! Thanks for watching
