Do like the Johnny Deere dealer down the street. Park next to a big tree and unhook the unit. Couple of guys flip it on its side and chain it to the tree. BIG wrench and air gun. When you sharpen these blades they must balance! If the blades are in good shape you can take a few measures here and there and match them up. lay a welding rod or such on a hard floor and put them side by side. They should teter at the same point. Also weigh them on a GOOD kitchen scale. I have digitals for hi vac work. Sounds silly but the machine will run much smoother. The correct angle on these blades is a compound! Look at a new blad and see how it was done.Kind of looks like the lead is 45 and the rest is 30. This make the edge last longer. When all tuned up they cut quite well. Jeffcat
