I am a little slow to respond here but I will second Tim's observation of living near DC. I have to admit to being a trash scrounger, but here is just a partial list of stuff I found out by the curb

The blade was dull. Or the neighbhbors bought a better one, so they had to too. People throw out all sorts of things. I've done it too, particurly when moving. Though if I know it's worth something I

[snip] I've tried to get my mower blade sharpened here in Fl, for less than the cost of a new one, but sadly, it costs more to sharpen it. I still have two sitting in the garage waiting until I get

I have never paid to have blades sharpened. I do it myself on a bench grinder that has paid for itself many times over. You can do it free hand just fine and then balance them on an inexpensive taper

Sears is usually pretty good about getting parts for older items, like my 20 year old mower and 45 year old clothes dryer. Try getting all the numbers you can find off the mower, and going into one

I do searches on ebay all the time looking for unassembled kits etc. Hard to come those people just don't let them go. Also I am 30 so I missed the big Heathkit days, do live in N VA, am one of the

For me, the hassle for sharpening mower blades is in removing and replacing them. The sharpening and balancing itself is minor in comparison. Sharpening takes me maybe 10 minutes for two blades, but

Okay, I've been following this thread, but I havn't seen a reference on how to balance a blade? I've balanced motorcycle wheels, but how do you do the blade? I guessing it doesn't involve attaching w

I'd like to do this myself--how exactly do you balance them? come to think of it, how do you sharpen them as well? I always figured I'd just take a dremel to them, but if there's more... how 'bout a

I take them off the mower. Mine have a shape that looks like this (when viewed as though you are a grass blade tht's about to get cut): ____ | ____ --/ \--|--/ \-- Well, sort of like that. The sharp

I built lots of Heathkits in my youth. But as miniaturization and automatic parts placement took over electronics manufacturing, it became more expensive to kit a Heathkit than it cost to just build
