  • This is a true “how to” video showing step by step how to backlap your California trimmer reel mower. This was my first time backlapping my California Trimmer and it was pretty easy and went well.
    You can hear how tight (too tight) the reel to bedknife was when I started and how free it is at the end but still getting that clean sharp cut.

    Great video, will be backlapping my CT on my next day off. Glad to see I’m not the only one that went with the Briggs engine! I have no complaints or issues with mine, just seems everyone with the Honda.

    Thank you! I have been trying to contact someone to service my mower, but with your video I am just going to do it myself now! Ordered the kit. Thanks a million!

    Great video that will help a lot of people Ryan! I would definitely recommend washing the compound off after to make sure it’s all out of there. You don’t want any on there when you start cutting again. Blow dry and put a little grease in the bearings. 👍🏻

    Friggin Genius with the pull-up bar stand brother! You helped me decide to buy my Cal trimmer and I was nervous as heck about getting my first back lap wrong because I didn’t have all the custom accessories. Thank you and tell Murphy I said what’s up.

    That's a great way to apply it! I usually paint it on to each blade, one blade at a time, this is quicker!

    Great video. Only thing I'd add is folks wear some protective eye wear if you don't have great trigger discipline (with the drill speeds) or it's first time doing this project. lol The compound can/will fling off of the blades if you spin them fast enough and/or apply too much compound at once.

    Great job. Will have to order a new kit. I had the one for a Mclane. Couple of notes. Love your ramp. I use two car ramps and can pull my mower up on it to get it to a work level. I purchased a electric 1 hp drill to back lap my mower. 25 bucks. Lot more power.

    I have that exact mower, and I been waiting for someone to do a backlapping video. You made it seem so easy! Now I have all the confidence in the world to backlap mine. Thank you so much! Also when removing the chain, do you have to mess with the chain tension to take it off? Or was your just loose and tighten it back up? Again, awesome video!

    Thanks Ryan for all the great content. Looking at graduating to a reel mower and definitely leaning towards the CT, how do you like yours? I have about 5000sq ft and just want to make sure I’m not over doing it. Happy New Years to you and your Family!!

    Needed to go back and watch this again as it was time to lap again. Any ideas of what might be a good idea to get off grass buildup? Don’t know if it matters as long as it sharpens but it’s not cutting the paper too well at all…
