Dropped of my reel and bed knife to get ground today. They said it should be ready on friday, and would cost about 40-50 bucks, they are even gonna straighten the few bends that the reel has.

They also told me that I need new bearings and I shouldn't even put the reel back on the lawnmower with the old ones, so new bearings it is then. If someone knows the part number for the reel bearings could you please tell me.

Now I have run into a little dilemma... As I was painting all my nuts and bolts etc. silver; I was regreasing the roller bearings and I noticed this spring. I have no idea where it comes from, or where it goes. I think that it sat inside the roller housing behind the bearing, but I'm not sure, does anybody know where its meant to go??
And is there meant to be two of them??
