Let's start over......
If I drive mine up there, will you sharpen mine too?

Sure. Took maybe 15 minutes. I realize I could have bought a new one, but I like fixing up stuff if it still has life in it. It's a special kind of satisfaction that money can't buy
I need to figure out a way to get mine in the air so I can get under the deck to remove the blades. Best idea so far is floor jack and Jack stands.

Damn, had to cut my bed bolts. Tried like hell to save them. Soaked them w/PB, hit them with a hammer, soaked them again with PB. Takes a torx 50, well I used the IR 2131 at first, - it's quiet lol...denied. Heated them up..HOT! Denied one again. Alright, no more messing around, where's the 2135 ? Brothers got it, called him , bitched, got my 2135 back, -denied and shattered a Torx bit. No biggy, have 4 others. Heated them up once again, DENIED! That's what, 700' lbs and they won't break loose. There's no way I can break a bolt that size, shear strength is probably around 5000 lbs lol. Had to decapitate all 6 after all that effort.
Upon further inspection, the bolt threads had disappeared. No threads, just solid rust. Rust filled the thread cut in.
