Most mower blades (and small engines) turn clockwise. Most bolts will loosen off with a counter-clockwise rotation. If the blade turns counter-clockwise then I would have guessed the bolt would have to tighten with a clockwise rotation. I'm not sure how else it could all work. A mower blade spinning off the shaft sounds awfully dangerous. Can you look up the model number online and try to find a manual? Without seeing it, I'm sort of stumped myself... Let us know if you find something! Dave,

When I put it on and tighten the blade, it spins off when I start the mower. I have put a lock washer on but the mower engine runs counter clockwise and just spins the blade off. Anybody know what to do? Thanks Having a problem with my mower blade. When I put it on and tighten the blade, it spins off when I start the mower.

If everything is "stuck" and the blade is turning, then yeah, you'll actually be turning over the engine, too. For my mower I just use a big block of wood wedged in there so it that the blade can't turn anymore. Ron, if you can stop the blade from rotating then you should be able to turn the bolt.
