Hi,
When I sharpen my blades I always remove any grass or dirt form the blade
then sharpen and balance. I use a simple blade balance I got a true Value
for about $1.98. I do balance end to end and side to side. I figure this
will help the bearings last longer and I love to hear the deck sing not
growl.
