Blade Overload Shear Bolts

NOTE: Blade shear bolts are not used on belt driv-
en decks.
On gear driven decks, each cutting blade is keyed
to the blade hub by two (2) shear bolts (10-24 x
5/8 in. stainless steel machine screws). These bolts
are designed to shear and protect the blade drive
gearbox from damage if the blade encounters a
shock load.

NOTE: Tightening the 5/8-18 blade mounting nut
to 60 lb·ft (81 N·m) is also important for proper
shock load protection. It is important to not over-
tighten the mounting nut since this defeats (over-
rides) the function of the shear bolts.
If these bolts shear, remove the blade and install
new bolts. Refer to CHECKING/SERVICING in
this section for Sharpen Mower Blades which de-
scribes the blade removal and installation proce-
dure.
After reinstalling the blade, check blade timing (on
gear driven decks) by moving blades through one
(1) complete revolution. Make sure blade tips
pass clear of each other. If timing is incorrect, con-
tact your Walker dealer.
