How to Sharpen Brush Hog Blades! Perfectly Balanced and RAZOR SHARP!

What happens here

Using the angle grinder, clean up any rust or debris from the blade mounting points on the brush hog's deck, ensuring a smooth surface for reinstallation. Also, clean all the small hardware pieces (retaining pins, shims, blocks) using the grinder to remove rust and build-up. The creator mentions that he would normally grease the pins to make future removal easier, though he does not do it in the video.

Goal: Ensure clean surfaces for proper reassembly and future maintenance.
