can i use any lawn mower blade?

Andrew S

i have a yard machines 21'' 4hp lawn mower. it is gas operated. i haven't sharpened the blades and i dont know how to sharpen so i need to buy a new blade. can i just buy any blade that is 21 inches?

Answer
Not typically. The center hole on blades differs. HHowever most places (think lLowe's walmart, etc) have cross reference charts for what blades fit what machine. Also, on the blade packs themselves it will say "Fits Yard Machines."

If in doubt take the blade off and take it in the store with you....

Answer
Every coupld of years should do it. Life expectancy of a mower blade depends on how much it is used and what brand you buy. The quality can vary greatly. On average they should last several years. It helps to clean them and oil them.

best way to sharpen lawn mower blades?

rick

I have a riding lawn mower with three blades. What is the best way to re-sharpen them.

Answer
You'll need to remove them first.

Once you have them off, you can either use a bench grinder or a file.

The bench grinder removes a lot of bad nicks and rough cutting edge very quickly, but be aware that it also heats up the metal and can ruin the temper.

A bluntish edge is better than a knife edge. The knife edge will cut VERY keenly at first but will dull quickly. A less-acute edge will cut well while lasting longer.

If you don't have a bench grinder or cannot afford one, you can get a good edge with a file and some time. I've done it before and while it can get tiresome, it needn't be tiring. It'll take a while but you'll have much better control over the edge than with a grinder, and there is NO chance of overheating the metal with a file.

I never worried too hard about the balance of my blades. Generally the blades experienced approximately the same amount of wear and needed approximately the same amount of sharpening. It's very nice to have a finely balanced blade but really it isn't crucial.

Good luck with it.

What is the difference between a "ohv" and a "ohc" lawn mower engine?

David

is ohv more power and quite? how do i sharpen my lawn mower blade its getting dull HELP!

Answer
Ohv=overhead valves operated by the cam from below
Ohc=overhead cam operating valves below it
Ultimately, horsepower is dependant on many other design factors. Sharpening varies dependant upon the cutter style, either rotary or reel-type. General rule of thumb is to simply re-edge the factory bevel-use a diamond file with slow, deliberate strokes, removing the least amt. of metal while providing a fresh cutting edge.

Good Luck!
