  • Law mower Tune up that anyone can do...love it brother. Great video with all kids of good tips that make it simple.
  • @Rein_Ciarfella
    For many years I sharpened with a file and balanced on a hacksaw blade in a vice. Nowadays I use a flap disk and a nail. I’ll probably never get one of those great magnetic balancers, but only because there are many dozens of tools higher up on my tool list. 🔧🔧🔧👍
  • @Rein_Ciarfella
    Hey, Steve! Then there are the little guys like me, just starting out in the small engine field. 😉🔧👍
  • Well said Steve! Parts are getting harder to get but the people that buy battery powered mowers dont even realize that they can not get any parts for most of those. Thanks for the video Steve! 👍🇺🇸
  • @bigsonslawncare
    Like that stand you're using and for years I used a file and occasionally I will still break it out. The picture of that Toro caught my eye that was my go to Mower for years only switched because the rear wheel drive mechanisms would drive me crazy when they failed!
  • @Big_Johns
    Great info for the DIY folks, appreciate you Steve. 👍
  • @pit4955
    Great video thx for the info, just a note on the suction tube cut the end on an angle (45deg) that will eliminate the need to lift up on it
  • @barrybaker9677
    It's a whole lot easier keeping your blade angle with a file. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but the blade angle should be around 30° to 35°.
  • @mr1pearl
    Yeh but I got about 20 of those to do 🤷
