I use a WorkSharp Ken Onion edition to keep my mower blades sharp.

I go with 10w30 Rotella T4 or T5 on my Kohler.

It's hard to beat those old 6.75 B&S craftsman mowers. I have put mine through hell for close to 20 years and it still starts on the first pull.

Gator blades all year.

I have to go with my 2005 22 inch craftsman self-propelled mower with a 6.75hp Briggs. I've put this thing through hell over close to 20 mowing seasons and it still runs like a top and starts on the first pull.

I'll have to take a look. I ordered bearings a couple of summers ago. But, I ordered the wrong size and haven't revisited the idea since. If I could get bearings on the front end, I'd be a lot happier.

2006 Craftsman 22 inch mower - 6.75 hp Briggs. Out - Mobil 1 5w 30. In - Rotella T4 10w 30. Also, put a new blade on.

I've got the exact same mower. I really wish the wheels could be upgraded to actual bearings instead of those plastic sleeves and cheapo grease zirks that strip out the first time you grease them.

Ain't that the truth!

Oregon Gator Blades are my favorite. They're heavy, but they mulch like a dream.

I've got a 1994 MTD snowblower (made in Ohio) with a 10hp Tecumseh that has held up remarkably, considering its been through nearly 30 years of South Dakota winters.

Times have changed. MTD used to be a great company, when they still made their products in Ohio. There are plenty of old MTD's still out there but their new products are Chinese trash.

I put a really sharp edge on a set of my mulching blades last year out of curiosity. They really did well with the thick, wet spring grass but definitely dulled fast.

I used to buy new blades when mine got dull. Last year, I bought a Worksharp Ken Onion sharpener for my pocket knives and kitchen knives. I use it for sharpening mower blades as well. Quick and easy and I get good results.
