Sharpening mower blades

[prs]

I think it would be OK to sharpen on the deck a time or two, but the blades should be checked for balance and straightness eventually.

None of the mowers I have seen give enough room to even consider sharpening in place.

And on my ZTR, its a whole lot easier to remove the blades than it is to remove the deck (or at least get it high enough to try to sharpen while leaving them on)

On the Ventrac mowers the deck will tilt up and lock in an upright position and there is enough clearance to use an angle grinder; at least on the contour and rough mowers I have, but I zip them off with an impact wrench and sharpen on the belt sander.

AND that's ANOTHER reason I chose a Grasshopper mower!!

The "power lift deck" makes THAT maintenance job, easy!
