Lapping compound for sharpening any reel mower - approximately one pound.   

Here are the instructions for sharpening your manual reel mower.

1. Remove wheel by removing e-clip and pulling off wheel.
2. Remove small gear (pinion gear). 
   Notice to Silent Cut and Agri-Fab Silent Reel owners: the pinion gear is held on by a retainer ring, snap off retainer ring, gear will slide off. Use of retainer ring pliers will make this easier.
3. Remove (pawl) the small metal pin that is in the shaft where the pinion gear was.
4. Turn pawl 1/2 turn clockwise and put back into shaft.
5. Turn pinion gear 1/2 turn -outside of gear, now on inside. Replace pinion gear on shaft.
6. Replace wheel and install e-clip.
7. Adjust the cutter bar so that the cutter bar blade has light but firm contact with the reel blades across the full width of the bar.
8. Spread a thin layer of lapping compound on reel blades (lapping compound available from Reel Mowers, Etc. 1-888-384-1033)
9. Flip push handle to front of the mower and push mower backwards  spinning blades.
10. Turn the reel blades backwards until the blades rotate relatively freely. Check the reel blades for smooth, even complete grind. Reel blades will be evenly polished when lapping is completed.
11. Repeat steps 7, 8 and 9 if needed to achieve 10.
12. Repeat steps 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 to return to original position.
13. Using a garden hose, clean lapping compound from the blades. Allow to dry.
14. Put handle back to its mowing position and you are ready to mow.
