Sheared off bolt that holds blade on mower

I drained the gas out of the tank so I could place mower upside down on saw horses. Some oil leaked out which I captured with news paper under mower. With WD-40, I soaked the piece of the original bolt, which had sheared off about 1/4" inside the threaded socket. I repeated this several times for an hour or so. Then, I took the punch, and hammered the piece of the bolt in the "un-screw" direction, repeating the WD-40 soaking between tapping. Eventually, the bolt piece started backing out of the threaded socket until I could grab it with a vice grip, and remove it from the threaded socket. Then, I mounted the blade back on the mower using replacement bolt. Have patience. Work slowly. Use plenty of WD-40, and the piece of bolt should come out.

Bolt holding sleeve and mower blade to crankshaft broke 1/2 way into crankshaft.

Drilled hole into the part of the broken bolt still inside crankshaft, I then heated the bolt that was still inside the crankshaft with a propane soldering torch and used penetrating oil to soak into thread and then used an easy-out to remove the remaining half of the bolt from inside crankshaft.
I then replaced the old parts with the new ones I had purchased from your company

Time Spent Repairing:

Less than 15 minutes

Tools Used:

Socket set, Leather gloves to hold blade & WD-40 & maybe a screwdriver

Star shape on adapter stripped off after SOMEBODY hit a immovable object.

1. Remove gas from tank.
2. Tip mower onto side with gas cap down.
3. Remove blade bolt with 9/16 socket wrench and remove bolt and blade..
4.Tap adapter with rubber hammer until loose.
5. Slide adapter down engine shaft until you can remove self-propel belt off pulley on adapter. Might have to use screwdriver to get belt started off pulley then it's comes off easy once it's past the guides on the bottom of the mower.
6. Reverse procedure. Slide new adapter onto engine shaft. I put a little WD-40 on shaft first. It only goes on one way on the shaft.
7. Put drive belt back on making sure adapter is all the way up on engine shaft and drive belt is in pulley groove and under belt guides on mower.
8. Install blade onto star shape on adapter and hold in place as you install blade bolt with flat washer and lock washer. Tighten to spec with socket wrench.
9. Put some gas in the gas tank and send your girlfriend back out to mow! ;-)
