American Lawn Mower Company SK-1 Reel Lawn Mower Sharpening Kit

Q: How many ounces of grinding compound are included in the tub and does it say what grit the compound is?

I don't know the answer to this but I have researched a less expensive alternative. You can buy 1 Pound of the grinding compound on ReelIn.com for $9. Then use your power drill to turn the blades and sharpen (see You Tube videos).

Q: Can this be used on a Gardenia brand push mower?

well...if 1. it is a reel mower, and 2. you can access the (right) wheel for removal, then as long as there is a 3. blade gear propeller internal gear prong, then YES you can use it. the silver wheel spinner handle (see images) - which you need to spin the reels backwards (after applying the sharpening cream) while the wheels are elevated off the ground - fits onto the right wheel blade gear mechanism or propeller gear post. if all of the reel blade gears are the same, i imagine the internal propeller gear thingy would also hold this handle steady as you spin. that is the only fitment issue i can think of though.

Q: What is the amount and grit rating of this lapping compound?

I'd say 70% grit but I can't say it for sure. I know it worked for it's intended purpose and very well. I actually still have the packaging and nowhere on it does it say the mixture ratio between grit and grease. Try emailing the manufacturer maybe.

Q: Instead of removing a wheel and hand cranking the reel, can the mower just be pushed on a cement surface to rotate and sharpen the reel?

the downside to doing that is you're going to have to have a very long stretch of cement to run along. By taking the wheel off you can crank a lot "further" than walking would do. Also, you can add the compound to the blades more readily since its on its side and opened up.

Compound great

The lapping compound was great, but the crank didn't fit my Husqvarna mower. We reversed the wheels, using a technique found on You Tube, so that the cylinder ran backwards with the lapping compound on the blades. A bit fiddly, but worked like a charm!
