Cleaning up my mower to start the season. Not bad looking deck after 300 hours. Oil change in engine and transaxle next.

If you are going through all the trouble to pull the deck why not remove the blades and use a bench grinder where you can hold an angle on them?
I usually just pallet fork my x320 up with the loader on my real tractor and remove the blades that way when I sharpen them.
Than again I've gotten lazy and the big tractor can pull a 60" bushhog that cuts great and it is WAY more comfortable than the x320 and ill go about 30 mph, which makes doing the back 5 acres a 5 minute job instead of an hour. Only down side to that is that I have to roll the yard then as the r4 tires tear it up and it gets rough sometimes.
But when its wet I do not like having to dig the x320 out or drag it out of the mud, the other tractor I can just drop to 4 HI and away I go mowing the mud and all.
I did about 1/4 acre of my yard that was very soft by throwing 1300 lbs ( 13 sacks of portland ) concrete out and running them over with the rototiller. Made a lot of much firmer dirtcrete and the field actually really likes it and I never get stuck anymore AND I can drive my RV over it without fear of it getting stuck.
I should do that for the ditches and never worry about them again either.
