Thanks Lachlan, I did actually do this but edited it out. It still spun.. When I assembled the mower I used an impact driver to tighten the nut, I think that’s way it was so tight..
Yes.. I had it sandblasted, etch primed and then painted, but if you were to have it powder coated it would be the same, sandblasted and then powder coated 👍
Thanks, very good instruction and what a immaculate restoration!
Thanks Joseph.. I’m sure there are other ways of doing this. This is just how I go about it 👍
Hello i have an old suffolk swift push mower. I am still confused, does back lapping also sharpen the bedknife or does this only sharpen the cylinder.
It will do a bit on both..
Think of backlapping as liquid sandpaper being squished between the cylinder and bedknife which results in sharpening.
Engage the clutch so it has the resistance from the motor??

Did you have your reel sandblasted then powder coated then sharpened?
