Rick,
If you ever sharpen that lawn mower blade of yours, run those stems though it a few times. I have gotten to where in five minutes I can have my blade off sharpened and back on, or nearly that quick. I keep the socket on the air gun, run the handle of the lawn mower under the back bumper of the SUV, that holds it up at the right angle to just buzz the blade off, quick trip to the shed and grinder and buzz it right back on. I used to sharpen my blade about every two years, now I do it about every month or so. The riding mower is a different story, but for Christmas I got a riding lawn mower jack so I should not have to take the lower deck off any more just to sharpen the blades (has three). You just drive the mower into the stirrups, jack up the mower and that is going to be nice, if things go as planned.
