The host is candid that this is 'how I do it' rather than a professional how-to, and the footage is informal, camera mishaps included. Best for BX23S owners curious how a fellow owner handles basic seasonal deck maintenance.
An owner-operator hobby homesteading channel sharing real, unpolished hands-on experience from their own property, not a dealership or professional instruction source.
The host says the bolts are about an inch and a quarter. A 32 millimeter socket was a little sloppy, but the inch and a quarter size fit pretty snug.
He uses a flap disc on an angle grinder, following the existing angle and cutting down until gouges are gone, without removing more material than needed.
He removes the blades, sharpens them, pressure washes the deck, greases everything, and reinstalls the blades before putting the tractor into winter storage.
