Back lapping reels on a Toro 3250D

 This is our approach mower. The cut was a bit off yesterday. Just looked a bit shaggy.
 This what the reel was cutting like. Not terrible but not great. After adjusting the reels I just wasn't what I consider a great cut. I backed the contact off a bit because I am going to lap the reels.
 Ok so got the mower outside. Put it into back lap mode turned the reel speed down to lowest setting. I am using 120 grit compound. I like the quality of cut that I get from it. Remember if it takes longer than 5 min to lap then its time to grind the reels. This mower took about 3 min to lap.
After letting the reels dry after washing them off. I adjusted the reels to the lightest contact possible while still cutting paper. Also went ahead and checked the height and adjusted as necessary. this was a good time to grease any fittings that the mower has.
