can someone please give some advice on how to get this off, as you can see my method has been unsuccessful so far…
I'm not sure if it's reverse thread, i have no access to a rattle gun currently i believe that could impact the rust enough to get it off if i can get my hands on one, yet its difficult to stabilise the rotating bottom piece to be able to remove the bolt!
has anyone gone through this? any help is appreciated thanks guys ๐
and sorry if this isn't the right group chat for this, will be happy to remove in necessary!

I had this exact experience last year. Pain in the ass. What worked for me was using the double wrench method to get some extra length on the spanner. You put another wrench in the end circle of the first one for extra leverage.
Unusual the blade plate has two holes in it which enable a tool to be fitted to brace it while you wrench on the centre nut. But oddly yours does not have this.
Anyway, I advise you to go and by a big ring spanner to fit the centre nut, because the adjustable one you have is useless.

Or just take the mower to a car mechanic or tyre shop and ask them to rattle it off for you.
A steel tube to go over the shifter for more leverage? Rattle gun?
Is this not a job for a socket driver or am I having a stupid moment?
Heat it up (be sure to drain the fuel first)
Heat and a breaker bar.
