hackjam Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I have a small BOSH lawn mower, have had it about 8 years, worked fine for the smallish lawn I have. Recently, I noticed it is not cutting grass cleanly, more like hacking chunks of grass. I have it set at highest wheel setting. I suspect the blade is not sharp now. Can the blade be removed and sharpened? If so, where can I get it sharpened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishcarlos Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Have a look and see if they can be removed.. Or if you are not sure, post a photo of the blades and someone will let you know.. Any little metal working shop will sharpen them for you and most towns have a shop that sells mowers/brush cutters who can also do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Find a local with a back mounted brush cutter. They all have a disc or stone they attach to the device for sharpening their blade. Or take the blade off and wander around HomePro or ThaiWatsadu. and see if you can find a replacement one that fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 As mower is 8 years old it might be worth changing the brushes in the motor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is your location? takes minutes to sharpen a blade - (unless you do it with a file & whetstone!) if you do find someone to sharpen it, make sure they balance also.

If you had been close to me I would have put an edge on for you, but 600km is probably a bit far to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
