Can't get the blades off, are they left handed screws?

The nut is a normal thread, simply stuck on maybe  with some rust or was tightened with an impact driver  or both. See if you can soak the nut and the washer with WD-40 and if available, try to use an impact driver to unscrew it. By the way, if yours is John Deere D130 22-HP V-Twin Hydrostatic 42" Riding Lawn Mower , here is the direct link to its owners manual:

I have a john deer riding mower, 22 hp, and need to take the blades off but the cap screws won't budge. Are they left handed, or just stuck?
