How to SHARPEN and BALANCE lawn mower blade (Toro 21 inch Commercial)
Thought I'd share my sharpening and balancing process for my Toro 21" Commercial lawn mower. This process can be applied to most most mowers. I hope that you enjoy this video :)
Cheers
Sean

    Great job. looks awesome. For the pin striping: the first color should be black for bleed thru then the white, this gives nice crisp edges. Just a tip by no means a criticism.

    Hey mate, quick question. Did those concreters use bar chairs on that rebar in the first part of the video? It looks like when they walk across the rebar, it doesn't flex down or move the rest of the mesh... If that mesh isn't raised, it's not even reinforced concrete anymore. You just have mesh sitting on dirt :( ready to rust

    It cannot be that rare, i have owned two of them., i would like a third one. The Victa two stroke, best thing to come out of Australia, Holden was mzde by General Motors, which is an American company, likewise Vegemite made by Kraft another American company.

    Its easier to install the pull start cord onto the reel with it running through the handle guide stop, Then remove the guide stop screws to rotate the reel and tension it that way, By using the cord notch on top etc. Then lastly reinstall the cord guide / stopper and thats it ! 😂

    Good video, really interesting mower. Shame you find it necessary to be wearing thongs around a mower. I don't know why people can't put a pair of boots, some safety glasses and ear muffs on before getting behind the mower. If not for your own safety then for the good example for people watching. Otherwise really interesting video.

    I realize this is an old video but I’m just seeing it for the first time, doing some u tube research while trying to restore a 12 drawer beat up rusty greasy parts cabinet. Having watched my dad and my x hammer metal a bit laying the cabinet on it’s side and beating that bent lip into submission might have worked better for you! Just a suggestion for anyone else with the same dilemma

    You paid too much. If it wasn't working anymore they should have just given it to you. Or at minimum $20-$30

    Hard flat steel and a steel hammer or mallet will straighten those edges much easier. That's what the car repair guys use.
