Just noticed your comment about a sprocket adapter for a drill. I have been trying to find something like that for a while now. Please let me know what you are using or where I can buy on or something else that could be rigged to do the job- thanks Larry

: "grind" of the compound
: between the reel and knife (2-5

: grinding, check and see if there is
: a clean edge on the blade, if not
: grind a little more. At home, I use
: a drill with a socket adapter to lap
: my John Deere 22 greens and Jake
: triking trim mower. I try to run
: the reel about the same speed going

: plenty of compound on it and I

: grease it before I start. If you
: use a p. washer, keep it away from
: belts and seals.
