A Blade Question For Mr. Transman..........

[steve-o]

do i really need sharp blades? they do get dull in time. it does depend on the growth. i like to save $$$ so i don't like to buy them when they are dull. my wife says i should change them frequently. i say no. she says yes. i can tell when i need a new set and so can she. it really pizzaz me off when she puts new ones on without telling me. i start without knowing i have new ones on and i'm a fricking bloody mess. better me than her i guess. i don't want no damage done to that thing..................... :laughing:

1..Then hammer red hot blade completely flat removing vacuum wing which is not required...

2.. Sharpen opposite side of blade where wing once resided....

3..Reheat blade red then quench in water or oil to maintain temper and hardness....

4.. Install blade which will now fit either way and when dull remove , flip and you will now have new sharp blade again....

This will save Della time , money and Steve will get twice the use from each blade and need not carry spares....

You need to try the carbide tipped blades....best crap I've bought in a long time. Found you can even run over sticks with em...no nicks, just keep on keepin' on. Productivity is a sweeeeet thing.

Sorry i missed this.....

Sorry steeve but i missed the highlighted section above in the quote and this hurts me that your hurting yourself.....

Luckily for you God has pointed at you and said T i want you to save this gentle man !!!!!!

Who am i to argue with the 1 guy who knows more then me ?????:laughing:

What you need is a gas powered portable air compressor for swapping blades and this is very , very , very important....

Luckily for you (last weekend) i picked up a non running , old junk twin tank wheelbarrow style gas air compressor at a yard sale that the guy threw in with a smaller pancake unit , nail gun and miter saw plus some assorted snap on tools.....

At the time i was not sure why this landed on me because i have nice compressors coming outta my wazoo and was gonna give it to the neighborhood kid.....

Anyway:

I replaced the 2 dollar diaphragm in the 5 hp Briggs engine and she sprang right up back to life in need of someone unaware of the many practical uses of compressed air and the various tools they run to make life easy and changing blades will be akin of living in a new dimension (FOR YOU STEEVEE-POO)....

Next trip down you`ll have to stop by with a truck( or whatever ) and you can have that baby free of charge courtesy of T-magic.......

I`ll even throw you an old impact gun and you'll see with air you`ll no longer have broken bolts or skinned knuckles because the impact works on hammer like blows to loosen stubborn bolts so there's no torque or pulling / pushing action that tends to ruin or snap bolts.....

You dont even have to hold the blade period as the quick hammer action loosens without the need to hold the blade as you would when useing torque / twisting manually with a wrench or breaker set up , and requiring blocks and chucks to hold the blade from mowing like so many living like we`re in the depression , or helplessly watching the Titanic sink from crumbling lifeboats praying they will stay alive........

This will change your complicated and dangerous manual method of removal into a 4 minute job per mower (with 1 hand tied behind yer back) rather then the hour project your now useing.......

Also....

If you need one i have numerous power inverters that change the 12 volt DC power coming from your auto cigarette lighter into Household style 120 volt AC so you can power a belt sander , bench grinder (or whatever) to quickly sharpen your dulled blades while out in the customers driveways saving time and making $$$$$$$.....

Tranny / T magic ,( will make it his mission) to show you how to fix these mowers on site ,with tools required to turn hour jobs into simple upkeep that will be over in a blink of the eye.....

You'll soon wonder how lawn care was possible without knowledge garnered from the T-N-T super man "aka T-magic" !!!!!!:laughing:

Its like hitting the lotto brother !!!!!!

Super T / T-magic has taken you officially under his wing and your troubles will be over , and $$$$$ will flow like the mighty Mississippi.....

Your PAL.......

PS:

Della emailed me telling me of your blade woes leading to my life altering decision to save you from 60`s era thinking so she promised a Tanky kiss for helping you and i plan to collect this time......:laughing:

I`ll put a magic block on her rational so to prevent her instantly falling in love with my good looks and charming personality on that faithfull day......

My powers of attraction are so strong i may require her to also attend blindfolded along with casting my love blocing spell as i recently flew to california and even the lesbos were saying "no i dont" to their lifetime companions running from the alters at many churches wanting me and searching me out so i have to be very carefull with my god given good looks and charm !!!!!!:laughing:

This must be all kept on the QT as many manysame sex women are now searching for me paying P.I`s and resorting to hopeless campaigns to find me to have me as their true love......

Shaaaaa..... And no squeeling for anyone knowing where i am.....

Tanky again ,,,,,,,,,T-magic..............

you boys need to re-read my thread.

You not only need sharp blades, you want them. To not make waves with the little lady just let her change them when she wants and get some meat cutters gloves for those times you don't know she did already. Buy new or sharpen, that's your choice.

[steve-o]

enough is enough.........

this thread was put up for sarcastic reasons to my buddy TRANNYQUAKE. read again......................... i was talking razor blades. maybe everybody really are unwashed masses like Ricky says.

[yardboy]

Yup, unwashed masses..........

steve-o

Yup, I caught that right off the bat.....

I just wanted to see if the UM and SBM could catch on........

[TRANSMAN]

Steeves so silly ....

steve-o

Your just one silly boy.....

If i had said "throw yer frigging razors away and you wont end up a bloody mess " ,you would have skewed the story to :

What are you talk in about T-magic ????? Steevee-oos being serious and when the wife changes my mower blades i check their sharpness with my hand and bleed all over!!!!!

After all this is like the 50th topic you started on blades in general right , and they all ask basically the same thing over and over again.....

Lets not forget you started somthing on "why blades needed to be balanced at all "???? Da- , and when i recommended tying or welding a 5 pound boat anchor to one side to see why some here actually scalded me for suggesting such a thing (as if anyone would do somthing so stupid ) and as if i wasn't just kidding....

Maybe GM has to install a new section on razor blades , the importance of them being sharp (so they dont cut you leaving a bloody mess) plus how much more professional LC dudes look to customers clean shaven.....

Steeve you should forge your own Rambo knife useing the hot quench method i described above , and shave with that (like a real man) T-magic.....:laughing:

Those Gillette things are for sissies and wont cut the stubble on T-magic !!!!

Matter o fact for T-magic to get vaccinations , shots or surgery the doctors have to use alloys made from my home planet of krypton to temporarily bring down my superpowers allowing me to be cut in the slightest way....

My barber even has scissors made of kryptonite just to cut my hair because regular shears will twist , dull and break ......

Superman is not a myth !!!!! Its based on the real life character Twanny -aka T-magic , - or T- Dynamite !!!!!!:laughing:

The name Depends on how much i please the ladies that day......
