Clark :

Here is a pic of the new and old blades, keep in mind the old blades
have TWO hours on them, cutting (mostly) grass.
I am also posting the "monster" stick pic, keep in mind, I'm 5'6" and
have small hands (insert joke here), the pic is of me holding the
stick.
Oh and the other pic is my version of safety first,

So am I right or wrong about the blades?
I can take, tell me honestly.

Thanks again.

notice the Matteuccia struthiopteris in the background?

I like your idea in numbers 3 and 4. I have a come-along and never
though of using it to jack the mower to remove the blades for
sharpening. I usually just removed the mower housing and then the blades
(PITA). Thanks.


Me too. I like the lift system, looks easy once it is set up. Gotta
have that cross-piece though. I also remove my mower deck to work on the
blades, but on my JD it takes me about 2 minutes, easy as cake. You also
need to drink that beer.

My Murray deck takes about 15 minutes to remove, with or without beer. :-)
