I recently picked up a Mclane reel mower that required a little bit of work. I got it running but now the blades need to be sharpened. Does anyone know where in the DFW area that sharpens reel mowers.

Have you tried backlapping it yet to see if that helps? There's a tutorial here for your mower that is very easy to follow:

I think Plano Power services reel mowers.

They do. I'm not sure what they charge though.

$50 was the last quote I got before I just backlapped the reel myself.

Let me know if you find a good place for compound if you don't yourself... Found a place in Ft worth but it's $75 for 25lbs lol... Don't need that much

You can get lapping compound here in 1lb and 5lb containers. :thumbup:

I have the product Ware posted and have been happy with it. They also have a distributor in Haltom City if that's close to you.

I've looked at buying it there and probably will... Just hard to pay $16.99 shipping for the 1-lb container...
