Re: (ET) Mower deck motor

[SteveS <ssawtelle fcc net>]

I would try it - if it is extremely stubborn you can always stop. It 
goes back on easy. If , for some, reason it started to loosen as you ran 
it, I think the blade would stop quickly or make a lot of noise as it 
would free spin as soon as the bolt backed off - it's only a friction 
grip keeping it spinning.

Oh yeah, there is a key on the flange which may fall away as the flange 
comes off - so don't do this on the deck over tall grass (or so I've 
been told ;-) )
