I'm trying to remove my mower blades for the first time so I can sharpen them. The directions just say to "Loosen and remove two cap screws" after blocking the mower blade. Are they normal threads (righty-tighty, lefty-loosy) or are they reverse threads? A quick reply would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I don't know that mower but my reasoning would be to turn the bolt the same way the blade turns when it is rotating (cutting grass)to loosen the bolt. My thinking would be that if the blade hit anything while running it should tighten the bolt or you would loose the blade when you hit something. NOTE this logic only applys on the type of blades with one bolt thru the middle of them like on my kingcutter finish mower. Not the brush hog type cutters.
Hope this helps
