If you are able to get under it and file it, you can take the blades off easier and just shapen them in a vise with a file, or angle grinder. Too much work to try sharpening them on the mower. I don't see how you can get a proper edge with the blade on the mower.

Not much room under there. So a drill or even an
air tool would be dangerous to use in that tight
quarter.

My 2¢

Can't be that hard to remove. I would want to make sure it's balanced when done too, can't do that on the mower.

Keep an extra set of sharpened blades and swap as needed.

A pair of leather gloves and a good crosscut file. What I use between major blade removal sharpening. Ed

Look at the deck. More casters and heavier gauge steel on the deck is the mower to buy. 9/10 times the deck is the first thing to give it up on a homeowner
grade mower.

That's what i do. Take them off, put on the sharp ones. On a rainy day, nothing to do, sharpen them in the garage.
