Use an adjustable, but make sure it is a metric one.
Entering the part number GX21694 brought up this page: Use the chart on the left: A 5/8" nut generally means a 15/16" socket will fit. Note that it's a fine thread lock nut. Those aren't all that common in my little world. Why not get a full socket/wrench set?
Does anyone take time to look in the manual or if they do not have one, to search for one ?
Installing Mower Blades
If you can not read letters and only see numbers:
16/16 inch socket.
Are you sure, my inch crescent wrench fits? Maybe that's the difference between an adjustable wrench and a crescent wrench.
A tape measure would be a good place to start.

Crescent is manufacture name.
I know. It was a joke.
Woooooooosh.
After wrestling with stubborn blade bolts for years, I finally bought a 3/4 drive 6-point impact socket and a 38" breaker bar.
Amen on the breaker bar. We use a 30" piece of pipe on a 1/2" drive
15MM socket. That and lots of PB Blaster !! John Deere L111 mower deck has 2 bolts (not nuts) per blade
Too much trouble. Just use an impact wrench on them.
I do not even have to block the blades to keep them from turning.
Yup, one of these days I'm goona get me one. ;-)
Everything is going metric. I recently added some new tools, like a metric hammer and saw.

Curious... If it's adjustable, why does it need to be metric? Or are you just kidding?

Oh, I can see the need for a metric hammer. How else would one hammer a metric nail?
