So I got the AC 160 mower re-leveled today. Couldn't quite get it 100% perfect (seemed like if I went with the bottom hole, the PTO shaft shield wanted to drag on the hit adjust bracket), so I went one above it, and then dropped the PTO shaft support as close as I could to level with it.
I had a heck of a time getting the top pin out of that bracket so I could adjust it, good grief. Shined the two rusty pins up with the wire wheel while I had it off. Does anybody know of a good place to get new pins? In case I ever try to restore this old girl?
Anyway, that aside, after I got it adjusted and mowed with it, I was pretty pleased. But then I got the deck up and went to look at the blades and maybe sharpen them. Here is what the blades look like.
So, they seem pretty... Worn out and beat up to me. Or maybe they're supposed to look like this and somebody can tell me I'm wrong? But they seem super, duper dull. And not sure what is with the indents on the blade, either. So the one side, I was able to get the pin out of the castle nut.
The other side, the pin seems to be rusted into the castle nut and I have nothing to grab onto on either side. What should I do?
Also can't seem to get the nut on the one I got the pin out to budge. Probably need a bigger cheater... Or the hot wrench. But I am stumped on the busted cotter pin. What are my options here?

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
