Question
We've torn up threads of the crankshaft of this push mower putting a new blade up. Do we have to replace the crankshaft or is there some way we can repair it?l

Answer
Hello Ty:

Really the Only Way to Repair this is a New Crankshaft. I have Experimented with Several Safe Ways to Mount the Blade when this Occurs and a New Crankshaft is My Only Suggestion. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck
