2 Plastic guide wheels on deck were broken and wanted to replace both (2) Blades

I started by driving the Cub Cadet LX-42 Riding Mower onto my car ramps and tried to remove the nuts holding the blade. I did not have luck with this so I went on online to look for a Video.

In the video they showed you how to remove the entire deck off the tractor. I did that and brought the deck outside and scraped and hose d off all the dried grass from the underside of the deck.

I then used an Impact driver to remove the nuts holding the 2 blades. I installed the 2 blades with the impact driver as well. I then reinstalled the deck which was a lot easier then trying to do this from the bottom.

The 2 plastic wheels were easy just used a wrench to remove and replace.

I then and went out and cut the grass and the mower is working much better now with the new wheels to keep the deck level and with the 2 new blade.
