Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Lawn mower, rear portion, lock washer


Question
I just tightened up the bolt on the blade on my Toro gts 22in 6.5hp mower.  When I try to pull start it the blade loosen's up and falls off.

Answer
What is the model number of the mower?  The model number is located on a sticker, about the size of a business card.  Look on the lower rear portion of the deck for the sticker.  The model number will be a 5 digit number.

Is there a lock washer missing?  What are you torquing the blade bolt to...how many foot pounds?
