Another way to approach this is, what's the cutter spindle rotation direction, looking from above?

If it is clockwise for both spindles, there's no reason to use left hand threads, which are quite rare on mowers.

If you can get access to an impact wrench, that's usually the most effective way to break tight fasteners loose, used carefully.
