Lawmower blade

Is it worth finding someone with a grinder to sharpen mine, or is there a way I can buy a new one? This is the first lawn mower that I've ever worn the blade out on.

Buy a grinder. They don't cost much. It's fun to watch the

sparks fly. It takes five minutes to sharpen a blade. After a few sharpenings, get a new blade.
Save money while having fun.

I buy new blades at the start of every spring.
Probably won't have to do that anymore though since I won't be living on a Crush and run (Greenr) road anymore

you can turn old worn out mower blades into edged mayhem weapons. Check out my Pinterest page 'Mower Blade To The Jugular' for fun and inspiring ideas!

disks.
On a push mower with your size yard, a blade should last you YEARS.

I have a fleet of Z-turns, all painted different colors for different months of the year that I rotate in and out.
Know what you're talking about.

Just sharpen each side evenly

Then rest it on a nail before reinstalling
to make sure it stays balanced.

You gotta sharpen the blades for your cut grassers?

They don't do that before they back the zero turns off the trailer?
I would NOT tip at Christmas time if I were you.

Yes. I use my bench grinders sometimes.

Sometimes it can be awkward to position the blade properly.
For serious, wear eye protection when using any type of grinder. I've gotten steel in my eye before and had it seriously RUST. It is no fun.
