I have a Fairway with a Kubota 3-cyl diesel, 6-reel cutters. How do you sharpen those blades?

Tom, I only have sharpened my Locke triplex once
since 1963. Instead I backlap the reels. I use
lapping compound (like valve compound) painting it
on the reels then turning them backward after
backing off the adjustment. The compound sharpens
or hones them then adjust the reel against the bedknife so it cuts a single sheet of paper. The
compound should be available at good mower shops
and comes in water based or oil cut. Make sure you
clean all the compound off when done. It's not a
hard job but does take time and is far cheaper
then getting a professional sharpening job. Also
you could check at any golf courses for info.
