Finished product looks good, I think you will find your blades are back to front. These edgers are deceiving as the rotation of the blade runs anti clockwise looking at the engine from behind the handlebars, the reason for this is because the engines are mounted front to back of the edger with the blade on the right hand side as opposed to most edgers which engines are mounted front facing forward with the blade on the left hand side. I would be guessing that 90% of model 38' are running blades the wrong way as its natural to the eye to install them this way. I'm not sure if this is a GA Spares mistake or if original blades were like this but it seems a bit strange that the flat edge of the blade faces the outer side of the guard while the sharpened beveled edge faces the inside of the guard
To this day I can't really understand the blade setup so if anyone else can shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated as even I had the blades on the same as Solman at first which will only send the back of the blade plunging into the edge first while the beveled side follows it out last wearing it out against the concrete, only way to avoid this is to push the edger on the grass so the flat side of the blade is against the concrete, pushing the edger smoothly on the concrete will wear the blade out.

First photo shows the correct way with the flat side of blade against concrete while edger is pushed on the grass, second picture show the wrong way with edger being pushed on the concrete wearing beveled edge of blade, also note blade in correct picture will rotate up out of the edge on the right hand side and the opposite blade will rotate down into the edge on the left side of the picture

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Cheers.

I also noticed that the blades were loose on the blade holder. I have also removed the blades to check out the bolts, holder and blades for wear. They all look good, but I would like to know if the blades should be tight onto the holder, or slightly loose on the holder to allow them to spin if I hit anything solid?
Hello Beantin
Yep, if you have pathways, these are great machines.

The blades should be able to spin on their holder for shock resistance.
But they should not be loose.

Hope this helps.

Honestly $80 is top dollar from where I see it.

I've got one and had it out at my last garage sale and the highest I was offered was $30 which I knocked back. These where made over quite a number of years with the originals being issued with the Kirby Lauson engine.

Cheers,
