BX2380 Mower Deck Removal, Cleaning, Greasing, and Blade Sharpening

[@abdonelectric957]

love the idea of hanging the deck by a chain. never crossed my mind but an excellent idea

[@AcmeCountryAcres]

Getting it up in the air like that makes it so much nicer for working on it.

Good job ! I recommend a plastic scraper over the metal one. The plastic won’t gouge into the paint causing a rust point. Have a Blessed Day

[@AcmeCountryAcres]

That’s a good point, even a old kitchen spatula (non metal) would work to remove the grass. I’ll have to get something.

I have a 2370 , cant believe how much bigger the 2380 is

[@AcmeCountryAcres]

I haven’t spent much time around any of the previous series to know of a size difference but when they went to the 80 series that much have been one of the changes.

I have to do the same thing. I was thinking about power washing the underneath, then just painting on some orange tremclad rust paint with a brush.I think it comes in orange?

[@ryebeach1]

what size are the bolts holding the blades on

[@AcmeCountryAcres]

I’ll have to check and let you know.

@@AcmeCountryAcres thanks, do I need a metric or SAE socket to remove my blades, I have the same mower deck

[@AcmeCountryAcres]

It is a metric size. My metric set doesn’t go big enough so I’ve been using an sae and it works.
