Hi BB

I will take your advice and purchase some new bearings for the reel before reinstalling.

Here are some pictures of the sharpened reel and bedknife.

When I was adjusting the height of the reel to be well above the bedknife I was having trouble with the left screw and lock nut which ended up snapping.

I have now ordered a new pair off ODK which I hope will arrive next week.

Here are some pictures of how the clean up is coming along

My father was rummaging through his shed this weekend and found this gem.
