    Sharpening Blades

    My question refers to customer mower blades. Many of the blades I see on customer equipment are really dull and beat up. It is not uncommon that I have to reestablish the angle and depth on cutting edge the blade is so bad. It can take 15-20 minutes per blade to sharpen correctly. I am not...

    Hello. The blades hit a solid brick and the central bolt broke releasing the two blades. Very scary. See picture. I cannot find where to purchase a new bolt (? and washer) to reattach these two blades. Yes, the remains of the bolt will first need extraction. When I search websites for the...

    Received this mower last week after the customer said she hit a stump and deck started making loud noises and was vibrating. I think the issue long before she hit the supposed stump.

    All of a sudden when cutting and spraying... my Outlaw Extreme blades started engaging when I turned the PTO

    switch off and they disengage when I turn the switch on. Happened all of a sudden while using the mower; I may have cut it off to answer a call but I was still in the mower. I suspect seat switch, PTO switch or clutch? Looking help.

    Honda mower HRN216VKAA pull cord will not pull unless blades are engaged.

    I mowed my lawn as usual and put away my Honda mower (model Owner's Manual HRN216VKAA). A week later when attempting to start the mower the cord was difficult/almost impossible to pull. Definately not fast enough to start the mower. I checked for gas in the oil and none found. I pulled the...

    Why does the new sod lawn have two different blades? Rye? See picture.

    A few months sod was installed. More and more I note that 10-20% of the blades grow faster and are turned differently. Is this the 20% rye blades in this sod said to be 80/20 blue/rye?

    Blade advice - Toro 60" deck

    I have a toro commercial mow deck and I want a spare set of blades. I see the Toro OEM blades (112947) and after market options, with a significant price difference. I have no experience here. Are the "bargain"blades a good value or is it better/more durable to use the Toro blades?

    Exmark blades not turning

    Hi everyone. I’ve got a bit of an issue with my Exmark Lazer Z 72” mower. Out of the blue, it stopped engaging the blades, and now it won’t turn them on at all. When I try engaging the PTO switch, it makes a noise, and then the battery light comes on. I’ve checked the fuses (they look fine) and...
