(Sharpened blade while it was off)
Then replaced everything in reverse order.
(Be sure to check both housings if you have more than one blade. I only ordered one to replace the one that was DESTROYED. Once I got under the deck I realized the other one was cracked as well. It just hadn't completely failed yet. Had to wait another week to get the 2nd one in before the tractor was fully operational again.)
