Proper dual blade installation on this Honda mower, and a few other questions.

[exotion]

After reading all this. OMG the same thing was asked and answered 6 different ways.

The best answer is the micro blades will fit and work on your mower.
Put the smaller blade on first then the bigger blade. Cut the grass if you like how they cut then keep them if you don't then try some other blade.

I know right.. how many questions could there possibly Be?

Actually, many questions. But that is one of the values of this forum. Toro, Orbit, and other companies are good at answering questions when one calls the corporate office. Honda was not.

Robert, please talk to your Honda company re: blade packaging

Robert of Honda:

Wasted one hour. In order to help customers, store return personnel, and salespeople, and prevent unnecessary returns to your distributors, please ask your company to do the following to the packaging of UPC 844053010834 SKU 1000-027-621:

1. Clearly label that the two blades are different in shape and coating. One is glossy, one is matte.

2. Change the installation diagram to reflect the shape of the blades. The diagram is accurate for only one of the blades. The large bent wings are not depicted.

Thank you.

New Honda Quad blades work best if sharpened

Robert of Honda:

In a prior post you indicated that out of the box, new Honda blades don't need sharpening. The edges did not seem sharp like the Micros. The Quad blades out of the box did cut the grass, but the grass cut was irregular, yellowish. The blades retained a black film on the sharper edges of the blades. I used a $7 hand-held carbide sharpener on the blade edge and some black film (not metal) was removed and the blade was sharper.

The blades now cut much better.

Do the Quad blades from the factory have a black coating over the cutting surface ?

Your opinion alone has some merit. Have you examined new Quads ? I took pictures of this uniform non-metallic material which curled up upon scraping and disclosed the bright metal. Perhaps I'll post them, but certainly from this point onward will run this sharpener on new blades.
