A mulching blade has a unique curved or angled design that allows discharging, bagging, and mulching. If its edges are already dull, it can lead to longer mowing time and frayed and torn grass blades. Mulching blade installation is easy. First, unplug the spark plug wire. Then, position the lawnmower on its side. Get a woodblock, preferably 6 x 2 in size, and put it between the old blade and housing deck. Make sure that the wood will prevent the old blade from moving. Take a socket wrench and remove the blade’s nut and washer. Remove the old blade and put the new mulching blade in. Put the nut and washer back and tighten until it is secured.

A flange nut's unique wide flange design distributes the nut's pressure over the part it is securing. In return, it creates an even fastening surface, which reduces part damage and nut loosening. This one-piece all-metal fastener has a lock nut version that features a protruding circular flange. This drastically increases bearing surface, compatibility either for irregular or oversized holes, and surface tension reduction. Flange lock nuts are the preferred type of fastener for many lawnmower models because it can provide better fastening than regular screws, which are known to loosen under extreme vibration. However, it’s important to know that flange lock nuts are susceptible to wear and tear due to constant vibration exposure.
