Remove the blade bolt and blade support then the blade. I had to tap the adapter with a mallet to remove it from the shaft. Clean the shaft off. Place the adapter so that the key inside of it lines up with the key way in the engine shaft, then give it a little tap with the mallet. Attach the blade and the blade support, then tighten the b lade bolt. Finished.

1. The blade was removed by placing vice grip pliers to the frame to act as a stop. A socket was used with a cheater bar to remove the nut holding the blade assembly. The bent blade was discarded.

2. The new adapter was placed on the shaft, however, the shat was 1.0625\" in diameter with a straight notch. The new adapter was approximately 1.025\" with a notch with edges. The edges had to be removed and the interior diameter was filed.
