Abstract
A tool for removing a lawn mower cutter blade from a shaft to which it is attached by a threaded member and disposed in a cutter deck having a skirt portion which surrounds the cutter blade and having different portions disposed at different distances from the ends of the cutter blade as the cutter blade rotates. The tool includes a sleeve portion having open opposite ends and adapted to be telescopically received over the end of the blade and a stop disposed intermediate the ends of the sleeve portion for engaging one end of the blade to limit the extent to which the tool can move inwardly toward the center of the blade so that a portion of the tool extends from the end of the blade toward the skirt portion, whereby when one end of the tool is received on a cutter blade and the blade is rotated, the other end of the tool jams against the inner surface of the skirt portion so that the threaded member can be threaded on or removed from the shaft without further rotation of the blade.
