My Black&Decker electric mower was loan to friend. He ran the
mower over several boulders several times, chipping a couple
pearl size sections off the blade. Possibly, this is causing the mover
to vibrate to the point of causing a shoulder sore.

I remove the blade, then clamp it to a vise grip. I have an angle
grinder that I will use to fix the balancing problem. The problem is,
I've never done this before. What is a practical way to balance a
mower blade?

Thanks


Speaking of mowers hitting rocks, here's a story that will make you
think about safety a little more.

My uncle was using a push mower without the bag on the back (and the
safety flap was torn off), and it threw a pretty good sized rock that
hit him square in the shin. He said it hurt pretty bad, and he
noticed that there was a little trickle of blood, so he shut off the
mower and started to walk inside to get a bandaid. Got six paces
towards the front door before his leg shattered and the top half of
his shin stuck in the ground. Nobody was home, no neighbors in the
sticks, and he wasn't in any shape to drive to the hospital, so he had
to call an ambulance. He said he had never felt so helpless and
scared in his life.

I'll never push a mower without the bag.
