Discontinued replacement part query - B&D mower

[lizzy33]

I have a black and decker GR389 grass cutter and the blade is loose. I've noticed the following parts have broken and need a replacement but they've been discontinued. I wonder if anyone here has suggestions for suitable equivalent that I could buy to replace them, ta

I am only guessing... a bolt and washer might suffice.

If, when you turn the machine upside down, it the blade spins clockwise, a regular (stainless steel) bolt and washer might be ok.

It the blade spins in the other direction, you will need a negative thread bolt.

BTW, the following syas that it has stock of the original bolt

Thanks for the reply and information. I've looked at that bolt but it's for a different part of the mower so unlikely to fit the blade element. If anyone knows if the one I need is available or appropriate substitute I welcome suggestions

Basically what you have here is a standard steel bolt with a plastic head that makes it easy to turn.
If you turn the bolt clockwise to screw it in, it’s a standard right hand thread.
If you turn the bolt anticlockwise to screw it in, it’s a less common left hand thread.
Which is yours?
