First job was to remove the reel and bedknife and get it off for sharpening.
Here are some close up photos

Not long after dropping them off I got a call to say the bedknife would have to be replaced. Its hard to see from the photos above but the left and right tips were bent up. I can only assume this was the reason my father could not adjust it to get a nice cut.
