Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Im thinking of sharpening the blade on our mastercraft lawnmower. It has a Tecumseh TVS90 engine on it, and Im wondering what the general rule of thumb is for torquing the bolt down to hold the blade on?

I checked out tecumseh online manuals but there wasn't any information on it.

thanks.

I would say 30lbs. should do the trick. Good luck

funny you mention it marc.

I looked it up in a Murray manual (pretty close in specs to my Mastercraft push mower) and it said 30 ft/lbs as well.

thanks.
