Start with your bed knife sharp and true, then using any lapping compound you lap the reel to the bed knife... Just keep closing the space between the reel and the bed ...everything will sharpen up.
You can get reel compound Like this: Pro Mow Reel Grinding Compound - Lawn Equipment at Hayneedle
but any valve lapping compound will work...
Takes a bit of time but it is easy and as long as the bed knife is true the reel will polish up to match it. :smile:KennyV
 
Everything I've seen on backlapping tell me the mower needs to run in reverse.... How do I accomplish that with this mower...
