that depends on if your using it for personal use or commercial use i sharpen my blades and grease every spring but i just use it to mow my own yard
The recommendation we give our customers (residential and commercial) is to sharpen the blades and grease the jackshafts every 50 hours. This may vary with your cutting conditions. Replace the blades when the back corners (wing edge) get worn to less than 1/16".

Well I start out the season with three sets of blades for both mowers and I replace blades every 36 hours and grease everything the same and sharpen the set I remove so there ready to be used again. So I guess your basically talking about everything being done every two weeks. The manual says to grease spindles every 25 hours.
Rivets is right about the back corners (wing edge) getting worn off, if you see that they need to go in the bin to be turned in at the end of the season.
