My daughter bought a used Scotts push reel mower for her house. It was in good shape and works fairly good. The blades need sharpened and adjusted. that's the problem. The reel blades cut against a fixed shear bar at the bottom. There is adjustment on both sides to move the fixed bar up so that you get a good shearing action against the reel blades - just like scissors. I can get each end adjusted, but the center still has a gap - the shear bar may be warped slightly. Also, to sharpen the blades, I have found out from web searchs that Scotts makes a sharpening compound that you paint onto the reel blades, then rotate the reel backwards. Must be something like valve grinding compound? Can anyone offer some advice before I end up making things worse? I'm trying to get a manual for the mower, but I doubt it will have much detail beyond what I've already learned from the web. thanks
