Whichever grinder you use, be sure to compensate
for a cone or barrel shaped condition.
Grind parallel to the Reel Shaft. Do Not
setup the
grinder by simply equaling the spark pattern on
each end. This will not remove the slight cone
shape of the worn reel.
Reels naturally wear more on one end then the
other.
Verify the reel centerline, which is the reel shaft, is
parallel to the grinder stone travel.
Bedknife Installation
If replacing the bedknife it is important to use the
following procedures:
• Remove all rust, scale and corrosion from
the bedbar surface before installing new
bedknife.
• Make sure the bedbar threads are clean.
• Use new Toro
screws. Apply anti–seize
lubricant to the screw threads before
installing.
Fairway and Utility Mowers:
250 – 300 in-lb. (288 - 345 KgCm)
Greens Mowers:
200 – 250 in-lb. (230 - 288 KgCm)
Tighten the screws working from the center toward
each end of the bedbar. Do not use an impact
wrench.

Since there can be variations in the mounting
surface of the bedbar, a new bedknife may not be
perfectly flat after it is installed. Because of this, it is
necessary to backlap or grind a new bedknife after
installing it to the bedbar. Follow the existing angle
that was ground into the bedknife and grind only
enough to make sure the top surface is true.
