Larry,
If you have any practical experience or comments, I'd appreciate them. How important is it to balance a mowing blade after sharpening? Important, from the standpoint of the blade not wearing adversely on the bearings because it was sharpened more on one edge than the other, creating unbalance, and, or, perhaps loosening from the shaft because of unbalance, and flying off while mowing.
Just wondering if you have any particular syle/source of a balancer, if you are familiar with balancers for various size mower blades.
I have a 40-year old, bought new International Cub Cadet lawn tractor, that could use it's rather short (3) belly blades sharpened. I also would like to sharpen my 20+ year old Lawnboy 2-cycle 21" blade sharpened too.
I guess I should learn about impact wrenches too then? Since I do not own one.
BTW, I have a nice, coarse whetstone that I believe would do the job. I can attach pics of the blades/whetstone on demand.
Would you be a proponent of buying a new blade, versus perhaps weakening a dangerous object like a mower blade?
Thanks!
