My blades are in bad need of sharpening so I set out to remove them with a 3/4 drive 1 7/16 socket on a flex bar. NO GOOD! Added a 30" length of 1" pipe as a persuader and sprayed the nuts with KROIL.NO GOOD! Does anyone have a trick or two that might help to budge these nuts? I'm growing weary. The hog is a ford 941B

Had the same problem with mine. Useded a 3/4 drive and LONG extention pipe. Went through the tightening hole in the hog. This hole keeps the blade from turning and makes it easier to loosen. Mine turned the normal way to loosen. The the problem is you have to drive the bolts out of the bar with a BIG hammer. For this take the whole thing off the hog as discribed by OKRon. Even taking the blades off they were heavy to sharpen on a grinder.

hi arthur, i found it a lot easier to sharpen them without taking them off. if you have a 4" angle grinder, lift up hog with tractor and put blocks to hold it up and sharpen away. simple and quick. good luck

Just a thought. Doesn't this nut have a left-hand thread ? Are you turning the correct way (Righty-loosy, Lefty-Tighty)

I only say this cause I just wasted an hour trying to remove a wirewheel from my bench grinder. Turns out I was tightening. Got it real tight, too.

Not my first boner this week.

I had the same problem once. After days of struggle (off and on, of course), using marvel oil, wd40, long poles and tight wrenches, I finally decided to remove the hub that the blades are attached to. I had my brush hog (it's too old and rusty to figure out what brand and model it is) leaning upside down against the barn, removed the bolt that holds the hub to the shaft, and then pulled the hub and blades off as an assembly. I did it myself, but next time I will have a helper, as this thing is pretty heavy. I put the hole assembly in the back of the pickup and sharpened the blades with a hand-held angle grinder. If you do it this way, be sure the brush hog is stable so it won't move when you're taking off or putting on the blades. I actually tied it in place with heavy rope. I think the hardest part of the whole job was just getting the brush hog turned over. In fact, if you can get close enough to an electrical outlet, you may not even need to remove the blades. Just turn the brush hog over and sharpen them right there on the hog. Maybe this will help.
