How To Sharpen Blades On Riding Mower
Bill Reeks, Cromwell, Ky.: "Here's how I sharpen the blades on my riding mower without removing the mower deck or blades. An eye bolt is permanently installed in the front end of the Cub Cadet. I attach that to an overhead chain hoist and lift. Once the tractor is up, I put a safety stand under the deck and lock the rear wheels to keep the tractor from moving once it's raised. I use a small 4 1/2-in. hand grinder, which I bought out of a mail order catalog, to sharpen the blades. This method is much quicker and easier than detaching the deck."
