Abstract
An agricultural cutting mechanism for use with an agricultural machine has a disk rotatable about an axis of rotation, a post secured to the disk, a blade, and a yieldable blade retainer. The blade is removably secured to the disk. The blade comprises a keyhole in which the post is positioned. The blade retainer is secured to the disk to move relative thereto between a blocking position blocking radially inward movement of the blade to the replacement position so as to maintain the blade in the use position and a service position releasing the blade to move radially inward to the replacement position for replacement of the blade with another blade. A blade for use with an agricultural cutting mechanism is also disclosed.
