Default Changing Blades on John Deer Riding Lawnmower

I am having problems getting the blades off of my John Deer Model
GT235 (three blades). Is there some special instructions that I need
to know. Are the bolts right-threaded or left-threaded? Is there a
special lock I need to engage to put on the blades? Thanks


I have a 2 blade (42") John Deere. The bolts were standard right hand
threads. The only problems I ran into were that I needed something a
bit longer than the standard ratchet handle and the bolt heads were 18mm,
which is not found in all wrench sets. I just grabbed the blade with
my (gloved) other hand and pulled.
