- Learn how to remove and replace the blades on a Greenworks dual blade battery powered electric lawn mower. This mower is similar to other brands like Kobalt and Ego. It's easy to over-torque your blades since one is a left-hand thread.
Try a beam style torque wrench for those left hand nuts amzn.to/3uYfZ3W
Check out @Baldeagle242 video on all manner of fixing a battery powered mower from wiring, switches, motors, and everything else in between: • Simple Battery Powered...
The tools I like and use most often:
Magnetic spark plug socket set: amzn.to/3CzmpvO
Tachometer: amzn.to/3sHibiH
Vessel Megadora JIS screwdriver set: amzn.to/363RFqO
Channellock Bent Needle-nose pliers: amzn.to/3I5DbnA
Long 1/4 Quick-connect Torx Driver Bits: amzn.to/3HUNgnm
Spark Tester: amzn.to/3CxW2qi
OTC Leak-down Test Kit: amzn.to/3CyUhJn
Compression Tester: amzn.to/3IWd6sp
Wear your safety glasses, or you'll put your eye out. Try on some gloves. Take off that spark plug boot. Clean your room. Open the windows, those fumes are nasty. Just 'cause I do it, don't think it's the end all, be all solution. There's plenty more ideas out there, I can't take responsibility if you slice off a few fingers after watching my videos. And don't just pour that toxic stuff down the sewer or in the ditch, dispose of waste responsibly. Just be safe, OK?

Can I just say: I really dig your Intro! It's short. It's witty. It's not louder than the rest of the video,- which is always a plus while wearing headphones... 👍👍👍
Thanks Ms Bea! Fair warning on some of my earliest videos, I didn't have that intro toned down properly. Cheers!
THANK YOU a million times. I felt like an idiot, until you walked through how to change the blades.
I'm happy to help. I appreciate you watching. Cheers!
Great video young lady! Thanks for the shout-out 01:10 Very much appreciated!
You bet!
I sought and I found. Thank you. Got new blades and no instructions til I saw your video. Great job. I love Greenworks and have a family of their tools.
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
Thank you, Lawnmower Lady! I changed out my dull blades for a fresh new pair! And no, I didn’t sharpen the new pair. Mows like it’s new!
Fantastic!
Thanks for the great video! You made this look too easy.
Thanks!
You are very welcome Mr Paul ! Cheers!
Great instructional video Stella. Ive never had the opportunity to work on a battery powered mower yet. Im a flipper so i dont flip battery powered mowers. They usually end up for sale in my area when the batteries are done for. Batteries are very expense, so i dont mess with them. Keep the camera rolling Stella, your doing great.🎥😉 Roger
Thanks for watching Mr. Roger! I've had numerous ones come through, and it is always battery problems. I'm afraid the battery mowers will multiply the throw-away mentality.
Thank you for doing this video. It was exactly what I was looking for to change out my blades!
Glad I could help!
Thank you! This helps a great deal. It was very clear and easy to follow. Keep up the great work 👍🏼
Great to hear! I appreciate you watching. Cheers!
Very nice video Lawnmower Lady! Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Will do Mr Donut Man!
This was very helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Good one lady . Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching Doc!
So it starts with the battery mowers great video
Sadly it does Mr. Hank. I've managed to save a few from the landfill, but these mowers don't have any residual value for salvage. Zero long term value.
I have one of these mowers, I do like them.
A lot of folks do like them. Cheers!
Does anyone know if the left motor is actually truly different than the right motor? Part 36101486B is advertised as the LEFT motor. Part 36101486C is presumably for the right motor. Greenworks told me the new number ends in the letter A - but the advertisements to not indicate left or right. So I'm confused. My Blade 2/right blade is not turning.
One motor turns clockwise, the other anti-clockwise.
Great job Norm. Lol Have a great day.
Thanks for watching Mr. Raley!
Good video LML, I'm wondering if the blade life on these might possibly outlive the battery's
No doubt Mr Rooster. People throw these away at the drop of a hat when they develop battery issues, likely due to not bothering the OM to understand recommended charging practices. I've picked up a few from people who go back to combustion mowers after they feel they're getting burned on battery replacements.
Thank you so much, since the manual was backwards I created more work for myself! you were a lifesaver!!
Glad I could help Mr Cade! I hope you subscribe and stick around. Cheers!
Great instructional video!! Do you have a video up yet on how you sharpen the blades?
Thanks for watching Mr Curtis. I have blade sharpening content, I'm embarrassed to say that I have not edited together. But I will push those up to the top of my list. I appreciate your comment. Cheers!
@@TheLawnmowerLady Excellent! I already have a replacement set - but maybe I'll never need to buy any more if I learn how to sharpen them myself. Thanks!
If this video helped you, please consider clicking on the THANK$ button above 🙌 Here's a video showing how I sharpen lawnmower blades: czcams.com/video/nvvdGTiE8TA/video.html
I own a 17” 10 amp 2inone green works mower. I have loosened the nut but the shaft also now turns. I can’t stop everything from turning. Help.
@@tomdonzelli9103 I have not had this particular model in my shop. Suggest looking in the OM to see if there is some keyway or slot to hold the shaft from spinning?
Hi, my sister asked me to fix hers, which looks identical to the one here. The issue is that blade II isn't spinning. Any thoughts?
Hmmm. Not sure really. Check out the links to that video from Baldeagle242 I posted. Hope that helps.
Would this be the same in the 60v 258nch dual blade model?
I honestly don't know. If the blades do turn in different directions, there should be some markings on the blades to indicate that. Thanks for watching.
Hey if I lost the nut that came with the mower, Could I use a locking nut in place of it to secure the blade?
Maybe? Just be careful to not damage that nylon cradle thing. Some of those nylock nuts are very difficult to turn. Thanks for watching.
@@TheLawnmowerLady Thank you. I appreciate the reply! It worked and I haven’t had any issues while mowing.
I got the blade to spin again by spraying it with wd40. i also sprayed the cooper section located on the motor. The blade spins great but now the mower wont start. Was it a bad idea to spray it with WD 40, i sprayed it from the bottom?
WD-40 displaces water. It should dissipate. Not sure I understand what you mean by spraying it from the bottom. Double check you didn't disconnect any wires/terminals when you were up under there. I have used WD-40 on my antique motorscooter stator plates when I've been riding in the rain, and spark/ignition gets dodgy.
How crucial is tightening the nut with a tool like you have? I don’t have anything like thst
Thanks for watching Mr Lefty! Tightening that nut is only crucial to the extent that over tightening can break or shear off the motor shaft, or deform the plastic/nylon bits that could create vibrations. Engineers design the size of fasteners within a specific torque range: tight enough to keep a sharpened slab of steel from flying off while spinning at 2500-3000 RPM: yet not too tight to deform or break off the parts they attach.
Many consumer chain auto parts store offer "free" tool rental ( You leave a deposit equal to the purchase price, which is fully refunded when you return the tool) The particular beam-style torque wrench I used is appropriate for torque on left hand threads. The very inexpensive clicker-style torque wrenches are not as well calibrated, and have a larger range of inaccuracy, than more expensive ones. Additionally, most all clicker styles are not at all accurate with left hand threads.
@@TheLawnmowerLady I do appreciate your detailed response! Very helpful, thank you! ☺️
Such a great lady
Thanks Mr Jim! Cheers!
The flat keyed washer pops out and the bold turns. Can’t torque it. What am I missing?
While a piece of wood took care of the blade to turn, I ended up using a flat screwdriver to keep the square washer down locked. At last. :) 😅
It sounds like the entire assembly is sitting proud on the motor shaft. Maybe keyed washer is not set fully on the flats of the motor shaft? Any chance the bushing were removed and put back in the wrong orientation? Ensure the square washer is sitting in the square nylon spacer fully.
Late for the party, Glad you got it fixed. I appreciate you watching. Cheers!
Now I just need a piece of wood like that
It was sort of fiddly for me, all the rounded parts of the deck and all plastic. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
@@TheLawnmowerLady I actually just used a rubber hammer I had laying around and it worked!
Brilliant idea!
I have this model mower and one of the blades stopped spinning and is very hard to rotate. The mower shuts off after 10 seconds l Any ideas or solutions please??
I hate to say, but likely that motor, or the bearings in it are shot. Do check the connections between the battery terminals and the motor. Bad/loose connection could cause the motor to overheat and shutdown, but it should not make the motor shaft hard to turn. Wish I could be more helpful.
@@TheLawnmowerLady Thanks for your prompt reply 👍
well this explains it, i slightly stripped my screws doing it the wrong way not even realizing this and i still cant even get the screw out :(
Sorry that happened to you. -There are some good bolt and screw extractors out there. I would try something like this first: --amzn.to/3u4nKqJ-- Unfortunately 15mm falls squarely between 9/16" and 5/8" I wish you luck getting those bolts out.-
Oh, wait. Those bolt extractors won't work on the lefthand threaded bolt. If you haven't completely rounded off the bolt heads. Try tapping an impact socket onto the bolt with a small hammer. That might allow you to get enough grip to turn it. Impact sockets are actually softer than regular sockets to help absorb impacts. Trying to grip the bolt with vice-grips or pliers will likely just round off the bolt head more. I wish I could be more helpful.
You sure added me a lotta grief!!!
It's shocking how you have to remove the blades on this mower lol.😂
Thanks for watching 🤔
Greenworks is the worst!! Don't do it! I hate mine
