Hello,

Forgot to ask previously.

Is the Bolt that holds the blade on typically
counter, or reverse threaded ?

No, but they are usually very tight, requiring a breaker bar, or impact
wrench, to remove. Some WD-40 or PB Blaster helps also.

+1 on that. I bought a Harbor Freight electric impact wrench for a
specific job involving motorcycle forks but it's saved the day a couple
of times. The nice thing about an impact wrench is you don't have to
figure out some way to hold the blade to keep the engine from turning.

You definitely don't want to crank up the engine while you're trying to
get the bolt out. Personally I think that's very unlikely but given
enough monkeys and enough rotary lawnmowers...
