Zero Turn Mower Blade Change and Spindle Lube - Troy Bilt Mustang 50
After more than a year of use on my Troy Bilt (sometimes misspelled Troy Built) zero turn riding lawn mower, the quality of the cut was starting to get noticeably ragged. I reckoned it was time to sharpen the mower blades, and at the same time grease the spindles on the mower deck.
After removing the mower deck and inspecting the blades it was evident that they weren't worth saving, therefore a blade change was performed instead. The bearings of the spindles were also re-greased.
I don't have a lot of experience in mower repair and maintenance, especially with a mower of this type. In order to find out what to do I referenced videos on the subject. My only concern is that just because someone makes a video on mower maintenance it doesn't mean they are doing it correctly. They may have learned from someone else doing it wrong, then they add their own incorrect information, then the next person does the same and so on, therefore, compounding the stupid. I hope I'm not compounding the stupid.

These are the blades I now use on my mower. It is a six-pack and the best deal I've found for blade sets. At the time of this post, they are $43.99 on Amazon (comes to $7.33 each). Here's a link:
