- Watch as I replace the mower blade on my Greenworks 80V mower model GLM801600 after the key failed, making removal difficult. NOTE: In the video, I say 90V a couple of times, but I mean 80V.

Thanks for this video! For what it is worth, when I replaced my blade today the housing was still fine, and it didn't take much effort at all with a 15mm wrench. Had the impact wrench ready, but you may find you don't need it at all.
hi dad. I like how it looks when I threw the flowers! Good editing:>
I have a 60V I've owned for two years and, on my last mow of the previous season, I messed up the blade on a metal landscaping divider I thought I could clear. This video was exactly what I was hoping to find for an intro to replacing the blade. Talk about good timing for my search compared to your post.
That’s what I’m here for!
GOOD INFORMATION THANK 3
I just purchased the same mower with (1) 4ah battery for $260/shipped on Amazon. It then went on sale again, so I purchased a 2nd mower just for the extra battery. So after I sell the mower I will end up paying about $325 for this mower and (2) 4ah batteries. Has worked wonderfully so far, so happy that I made the switch to electric! Thanks 4 the vids!
Bought a new Greenworks Pro (6) weeks ago. Free spinning is the culprit for failure to cut. Thanks for the tip. I've already placed a return order with Amazon, but I know how to change the blade on my new one.
It's keyed that way so that in an extreme case of the blade hitting something hard, it will break at an easily replaceable part. Rather than just keep driving and tearing itself apart. If yours broke from wear than that's not good, but probably not planned obsolescence.
Anyway, thanks for the blade removal tip.
I was thinking about that after I recorded it. Probably acts as a automatic disconnect so that the shaft doesn’t warp. Here’s what I don’t get though: gas mowers do not require this sort of thing. So why do electric mowers need it?
@@createthisdotcom This of it as a fuse. It's a good idea.
@@createthisdotcom Gas/Petrol mowers do not need a cooling fan under the deck. They have a blade boss that will either have sheer pins holding the blade tight that will sheer off if you hit something solid like a concrete block or the hole blade boss is designed to sheer/snap off all to save the shaft.
Battery mowers need a fan to keep cool, so this is a two birds with one stone so to speak.
Most metric mower blade bolts are either a 14mm or 16mm to keep fairly close to the imperial size used by US mower manufacturers. Some twin decks with rear collection will have different sized bolts so the mechanic will not mix up the left-hand and right-hand treaded bolts as the blades will turn clock-wise or counter-clock-wise.
Greenworks also manufacture Echo & Stihl plus others. Their handheld battery tools are also really good.
@createthis gas mowers do. So.e part will always be designed to fail as a mechanical fuse to protect major components. Although I'm always annoyed by riding mowers, the star pattern is soft in order to "protect" the spindle, but they fail often and the cheapest easiest fix almost always ends up being replacing the whole spindle it claims to protect
I think the plastic keys are actually an engineered point of failure, because it’s cheaper to replace that part compared to the electric motor (if the blade gets jammed and the motor keeps running and burns itself out).
Fantastic informative video. I have a 2017 Kobalt 80v also made by Greenworks and nice to know if mowing issues what to look at first. Thanks!
Thats overkill on that impact 🤣🤣
This video is great public service. To immobilize the blade, I recommend the Arnold Blade Removal Tool.
Great video. What is the assembly kit number and or what size is the he bolt. Thanks
Is anyone having luck finding replacement parts for this mower? I have tried looking for the kit and the parts separately and haven't found them in stock anywhere as of yet.
WHERE did you ORDER that Plastic Part ( website) ?????????
On Greenworks with the part # you provided only shows the blade for sale , or does it come with the plastic thing to hold the blade on ???
Are the blades on the Greenworks mowers true to the stated size i.e. 20"/21"?
Same issue on mine greenworks pro 60V. Kept falling off. Bought it back in 2018, started this problem last year.
I'm getting ready to do this as my existing blade is really dull and has been since I bought it brand new. That's my only complaint with this mower. I have the self propelled
21".
I made a video a long time ago about how to sharpen a lawn mower blade. I don’t think it’s my best work, but you might find it useful: DIY Lawn Mower Sharpening

You don't use a torque wrench to tighten bolt?
I wouldn't say it is planned obsolescence, but for protection of the motor and shaft. I you hit something, like a rock or root, it will break the fan assembly before bending the shaft on the motor.
Where can I get the plastic fan key
Thanks for the vid! Very useful. Could have put that content into a 2 min video though ;)
Cut the 2x4 to fit tight inside the deck so the blade edge bites into the 1.5" side of the 2x4 and the blade won't spin on you. And all you need is a $10 breaker bar and socket, not a $200 impact. Put a little grease or anti-seize on the bolt before you reinstall.
What is a breaker bar?
It’s just a wrench with a longer handle so you can put more torque on it.
According to the instructions, the bolt should be torqued to 24 to 27 foot-pounds.
Thank you. I really should have taken the time to look that up and included it in the video.
Nice sell to the wife about the need for that impact drill for this job. A ratchet definitely wouldn't have done exactly the same thing. Definitely. For sure need that. 🤭
There's a special tool that clamps to the mower and holds the blade in place. But a piece of wood works ok.
The manufacturer definitely
"cut corners". They want you back soon to purchase a New Lawnmower. It WAS planned that way.
Where can you buy the green fan part that you replaced?
Google R0200742-00. That’s the assembly I purchased. I don’t know the part number for the green fan itself. Maybe call greenworks and ask, then let me know so I can buy a spare.
@@createthisdotcom I need to replace the plastic part because the parts of it that hold the blade in place are non-existent now. I can't seem to locate that fan part anywhere! Did you have to place an order directly through greenworks?
No, I ordered the whole assembly. Blade and plastic part.
Well rather that plastic piece break than anything else??? Maybe?
Very informative video. However, one problem; I've spent two days searching the internet trying to find Greenworks Blade Replacement Kit (R020244-00) as published
in the owner's manual that came with my 80v Pro mower that I purchased on July 26, 2022. No where could I find a blade assembly kit for my mower or a 60V mower.
I'm beginning to believe that "createthis" is correct in thinking this plastic fan is Greenworks attempt to create Programed Obsolesce into their mowers.
If I had to guess, it’s probably increased summer peak demand selling them out. This is not a complicated part. It should be trivial for cottage industry to come up with replacements if greenworks can’t keep up with demand.
I am having difficulties finding this piece myself, I am seriously considering getting in to 3D printing just to replace this part. The mower is otherwise pretty good, so I am not going to replace it if I don't have to.
@@Sanadis Agreed. I suspect they'll do another production run, but if they don't, 3d printing or lost wax casting would be good alternatives. I've got my old broken part laying around in case I need it, just for this purpose.
Were you able to get the replacement parts?
With what you paid for that Milwaukee you could buy a new and better mower but hey thats a great excuse to get new tools lol
I’ve wanted an impact wrench since I was 20. I’m 40 now. It’ll be used. I’m not afraid to pay a premium for quality tools.
You should convince your wife you need a 3d printer to make your spare parts out of abs plastic or p.l.a
