You can take your riding lawn mower to the shop to have the blades sharpened or you can sharpen them yourself. If you would like to learn how to riding lawn mower blades, you can learn for free from one of our experts.

Paul will demonstrate how to remove the deck from a riding lawn mower, how to remove riding lawn mower blades, how to sharpen riding lawn mower blades, how to replace the blades on a riding lawn mower, how to check the belts on a riding lawn mower, and how to lubricate the deck of a riding lawn mower.
"Hello! I'm Paul Popplewell with Central Equipment and I have been employed with them for 18 years and I am here today to represent Expert Village. Today we are going to show you how to remove the mower deck from a John Deer LA 130 though most lawn contractor's will be similar; some vary and the tools required to remove them. In this case, today we will need a 15 millimeter wrench and a pair of pliers. We will have to locate and remove 2 pins in the rear of the deck and 1 in the front of the deck and we will use a pair of pliers to pull the hair pin out of that. To relieve the tension on the belt, we use a 15 millimeter wrench and we will roll the idler puller out of the way so we can then remove the belt. Once we've done that, we can slide the deck out from under the tractor."
