pfrederi 17,902 #5 Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) Save your money. I understand the WH wrenches can bend. Old deck blade hacksaw and a grinder and a bit of time and it will not bend and mine is several years old now. Edited March 4, 2021 by pfrederi 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 55,882 #7 Posted March 4, 2021 I took about 1/8" off the side of one of my 1 1/8" open end wrenches years ago, slips right in there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lynnmor 7,355 #11 Posted March 4, 2021 I have one that I bought with a new tractor many years ago, is spread open the first time I used it. I think they are made out of peanut butter. Get a cheap wrench at a flea market or yard sale and if it is too thick, grind it down. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 63,109 #13 Posted March 4, 2021 What are we using these for? Why do they need to be skinny? I’ve taken a liking to Forged In Fire. If I ever make my own Damascus blade, it’ll be out of either leaf springs or mower blades, or both! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the mower blade spindles nuts, the thinner ones go between the blade and "top" nut to hold it while removing/installing the blade retention nut. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got a commercial powder coated tough version. Mrs. P told me in 2018 just before the Big Show “You go get a new zero turn mower [and keep my big front yard mowed], and you can have as many Wheel Horses as you want. Well, we know how that turned out! Edited March 4, 2021 by pullstart And for the rest of the story 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,239 #20 Posted March 4, 2021 Years ago I had a friend mill an open end wrench down to fit. Being 16-18" long they make it quick and easy work 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kligan 2 #21 Posted April 7, 2021 I had 2 of those, but I just sold one of them. Have you not found anything on Facebook? People usually post a lot of stuff there to sell. I posted mine many times! Not everytime I had succes selling it, but my point is people are often searching on FB as there are much lower prices. I sold mine for almost nothing compared to how much I spent on it, honestly. But I'm glad to help others if I can, so no worries. Maybe you'll find what you need at a decent price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
