Nice job. I like these little mowers, they run great and they’re perfect for trimming or small yards.

No don’t know how you could open it up with the outside so darn filthy

[@georgemartinezjr]

That's what was thinking

[@BackyardRepairs]

It's what's on the inside that counts guys :).. (duly noted though)

Should have cleaned it off before working on it.

[@kentuckycornbread8502]

That’s what I was saying. A lot of repeated cleaning and spraying the carb out from some of the exact same dirt that was just sprayed out of it.

Keepin me honest, thanks!

I Agree Clean If Off So You Can See If Any Other Mechanical Problems Need To Be Addressed.

I fix these but there only worth a 100 bucks at the very best

How do you shatpen the Blades

[@artemiosalas-molina1608]

Some people like to use a bench grinder but I like to use an angle grinder

[@BackyardRepairs]

I use an angle grinder with either a flap disc or a metal wheel depending on if the blade edge just needs a touch up or heavy work
