OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Walk Behind Lawn Mower Frames Question On Scott Bonnar Cylinder Mowers Hello Everyone

Finally got around to disassembling the frame today. Tried to remove the bed knife by heating it up. Could only get two screws loose. I will try some WD40 before I have had enough and drill them out.

What do you think of the reel, can the dents be straighten out with a dolly before sharpening? What about the bed knife, replace??? Looks like it was sharpened on an angle.

The frame doesn't appear to show any cracks at all from underneath. But the rear rail does need straightening. Bearings on the reel are shot and need replacing. Most components look in reasonable condition.
