Exact bolt size - Trying to get mower blade off for sharpening

I cannot get the mower blade off of my mower. What is the exact size of the bolt. I want to make sure I am not having some conversion error here.

I took it to the hardware store and they couldn't get it off either. Going to go to a friend who has some mechanics tools next.

What are the options if I can't get the mower blade off?

MowRatorHacks - How I use my MowRator outside of Mowing

A couple years ago I broke my foot and wanted to find a way to mow my line without having to pay the high price in my area for lawn mowing, and also keeping my independence.

I did a lot of research, and found that fully automated mowing wasn't for me due to slopes/retaining walls, and a complex mowing environment.

Then I got advertised the Mowrator, and pulled the trigger during one of their winter sales.

I use this thing for EVERYTHING that involves moving stuff, as well as mowing, but I also found a novel use for... Halloween.

I bought a yard ghost from the local hardware store, and hooked a battery pack -> AC converter. After a lot of zip ties and bolting some plumbing clamp things from the local hardware store I got it working.

Since the ghost is motion activated, I would hide him behind one of our trees, and as kids got to the door (and their parents stayed at their car most times) I would drive the mower around to get the kids happy, then drive the mower over to the parents to give them candy while they waited.

I also included an example of using the tow hitch to haul my garden supplies this year to my garden, which is its biggest non mowing use.

I drag around grass seed, haul yard equipment. I have the before and after of doing my hedges. Moved about 8 large bags of debris total with it.

This thing has been everything I have wanted from a mobile workhorse platform.

I also mow my lawn more often, because I just like driving it around.
