TL;DR - Guy buys a $600 kobalt electric mower. The piece that attaches the blade to the motor is a plastic fan/blade mount affair.
He hits something while mowing which sheers off the plastic "pins" holding the blade in place.
This is an obvious part which would break under the stress of hitting something, I guess it was designed to.
Oh look, Kobalt/Lowes doesn't sell that replacement part.
The environment wins!
I realize her business cant do it due to liability but I would just drill 2 holes and install 2 small aluminum machine screws and use it.
It looks like someone cross referenced it in the comments section with a Greenworks mower (that makes the Kolbalt mower) for a part. But hell most folks would not know how to do that.
