Quote: CVPost-Geo-TH,In (quoted from post at 09:53:41 03/22/22) I used a torque wrench to tighten bolts to 50 lb ft.
People here have little clue that you can't jack up a farmall C with a tricycle front end.
Not enough room for an impact. This is the safest way to get the job done..
Woods mowers have self tightening bolts. It took over 125 lb ft to remove bolts..Menards sells torque wrenches for $15. This is an old wrench. Still works. My 3/4 inch ratchet is too heavy for this old man to hold in place..
No way can I hold the blade on the share side and loosen bolts.
An old man has to do what it takes to get the job done.
Anyone wants to bring their impact and show me how to do the job, they are welcome...
It seems to me most responding to you don't realize that you are talking about a mower on a Farmall C, not a lawn tractor.
Regardless, I still don't see why you couldn't drive the front up on a ramp. Use graduated blocking to make a ramp maybe and remove the blocking that may be in your way after the wheels are at the desired height. Then jack the mower up if necessary, it appears to be suspended by chains. Then use the impact wrench. Replace the removed blocking to back off the ramp.
That's how I would try to do it, don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. Be easier than what you are trying to do I think.
